"All of us! Mobilizing for abortion rights”, on Thursday 5 February from 10.00 to 12.30, room A3G3.

Experts on sexual and reproductive health and rights share their experiences and views on the regressive abortion policies in some EU countries (Malta, Poland, Ireland, Hungary) and regressive initiatives, such as One of Us.

The ‘All of Us’ event organized jointly by ALDE, S&D, Greens and GUE,  is mobilizing support for maintaining, not restricting, access to safe and legal abortion.

A joint declaration will be presented at 12.00 by the participating MEPs.
