💜 Today, on #SafeAbortionDay: Let’s remember that women’s rights are never guaranteed. Abortion is healthcare. Sexual & reproductive rights are fundamental rights. Across the EU, access to safe abortion remains unequal. We must defend the right to safe & legal abortion everywhere 🇪🇺

Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls. As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination. #HealthForAll

Yesterday was world contraception day. #womenshealth #eiwh #worldcontraceptionday

Today, on #EuropeanDayForHumaneScience, I stand to support the phase-out of animal testing. Cruelty-free choices can assure safety & drive innovation. Together, we must defend these bans to keep Europe leading in humane science! 🐾

Pleased to speak at the EAPM Vision 2030. Personalized medicine holds promise for patients, but only if it’s equitable. ➡️Access still varies across EU ➡️Risk of “luxury medicine” is real ➡️Tech like decentralized trials & EU-wide data sharing can help Equity must be at the ❤️ of innovation.

Thrilled to co-author this call for bold EU leadership in science, public health, and women’s rights from research and innovation to access to care and gender equality across Europe 👩‍🔬💪 shorturl.at/DO6MF @spietikainen.bsky.social @stinebosse.bsky.social @mepsforwomenhealth.bsky.social

Age-appropriate sex education is critical for young people’s health. Evidence shows that young people are more likely to delay having sex, and if they do have sex, practice safer sex, when they are better informed about sexual health and their rights 👉 bit.ly/3MWpPyO #YouthDay
