Power by Other Means

Economic violence, the systematic restriction of access to economic resources, employment, property or decision-making, constitutes one of the most insidious yet concealed forms of gender-based violence (GBV). By undermining economic autonomy, it entrenches dependency, constrains choice, and limits the ability of affected persons, predominantly women, to

Nearly one-third of women in the EU are subject to violence.

This statistic comes from a survey published by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), which also showed that most violence is ‘widely under-reported’ and often ‘overlooked by the institutions meant to address and prevent it.’

#b2011 #IstanbulConvention

The Istanbul Convention has been in existence since 2011, but Germany only ratified it in 2018.

At the same time, Germany presents itself as a bastion of women's rights and emancipation – so it doesn't quite fit the picture that violence against women continues to be the patriarchal norm.

Prevention receives virtually no funding – on the contrary, it will be cut in 2026 – and of all forms of violence, only physical violence in relationships is really recognised as such.

Protection against violence is also being used as a gateway for expanding the ‘security’ apparatus (more police, more isolation, more camera surveillance, more AI) and as a playground for racist narratives. The new Violence Protection Act also has these flaws.

How can we counteract this and set a course towards liberation from violence? How can we broaden our view of violence protection?

‘Cynical and completely reckless’ Latvia has the highest femicide rate in Europe — including Russia. Its parliament just voted to exit a treaty protecting women from violence. | Meduza

Latvia: Public mobilisation grows in support of the Istanbul Convention for preventing violence against women.

Latvian lawmakers voted on 30 October to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention.

Since then, the president has called for a review of the bill, as protests are planned across the country on Thursday.
