Key Highlights

EuroMed Feminist Initiative EFI

EuroMed Feminist Initiative EFI is a policy network that encompasses women’s rights organizations from the two shores of the Mediterranean and advocates for gender equality and women’s rights as inseparable from democracy building and citizenship, for political solutions to all conflicts, and for the right of peoples to self-determination.

The Revocation of the Right to Abortion in the United States is a Major Setback for Women's Rights

The EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI) is alarmed by the decision of the US Supreme Court to no longer protect the right to abortion at the federal level. This liberticidal decision is an encouragement to those who are constantly working to roll back women's rights around the world. The revocation of this fundamental right can have tragic consequences, especially for the safety and health of the most vulnerable women, who will have no other recourse than illegal abortion.
