Lately, the world has been rocked by scandals of sexual harassment against women, which even reached the White House. Discrimination against women is nothing new, what is new is that women are fighting back through social movements like #timesup and #metoo. At the same time, conservative counter revolution in Eastern Europe is trying to roll back women’s rights, especially abortion, as well as fighting against adopting Istanbul Convention for the protection of women and children from violence.
U posljednje vrijeme svijet potresaju skandali zbog spolnog uznemiravanja žena, koji su stigli čak i do Bijele kuće. Diskriminacija žena nije ništa novo, novo je to što žene uzvraćaju udarac kroz društvene pokrete poput #timesup i #metoo. Istodobno, konzervativna kontrarevolucija u istočnoj Europi pokušava smanjiti prava žena, posebno pravo na pobačaj, a bori se i protiv prihvaćanja Istanbulske konvencije o zaštiti žena i djece od nasilja.
LGBTI people are fighting for equality and they have come a long way in the last few decades in Western and Northern Europe but their progress has been much slower in Eastern Europe. Often a threat to the traditional family by same-sex marriages is highlighted as the main opposition point by the conservatives yet traditional marriages are in crises in Europe – far more people get divorced, far more opt for cohabitation and civil partnerships and there is a rise of single-parent families.
LGBTI osobe bore se za ravnopravnost i u posljednjih su nekoliko desetljeća daleko dogurale u zapadnoj i sjevernoj Europi, ali je njihov napredak u istočnoj Europi mnogo sporiji. Konzervativci kao glavni argument protiv često ističu da istospolni brakovi ugrožavaju tradicionalnu obitelj, a ipak su tradicionalni brakovi u Europi u krizi – mnogo se više ljudi razvodi, mnogo ih se više odlučuje za izvanbračnu zajednicu i životno partnerstvo, a raste i broj jednoroditeljskih obitelji.
