This is what happens when institutions fail to put proper procedures in place:
❌ Victims of harassment are left in limbo.
❌ Perpetrators walk on technicalities.
❌ And justice? Lost in a bureaucratic mess.
Reform isn’t just overdue—it is a necessity.
European Parliament’s careless harassment investigations are failing victims, complainants have said.

‼️ 1/4 @MeTooEP has always called for an external audit of the harassment procedure. Once again, the @European_EN has failed to protect victims due to procedural mistakes. The decision has now been annulled on procedural grounds—leaving victims without justice
#EUGeneralCourt annuls the finding and sanction against a former member of @Europarl_EN for #harassment, due to a violation of the rights of the defense 👉 curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/Jo…
3/4 Simply having a procedure is not enough—it must be fair & respected. Procedures safeguard rights, ensure accountability & build trust. Without them, institutions fail the very people they are meant to protect.
Today, on the Int Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand in solidarity with survivors of gender-based violence.
NO EXCUSES for violence against women & girls.
NO EXCUSES for inaction.
NOT today, NOT ever.

Happy #LaRentree!🚀👊🧵
For the new mandate, EP's rules make it mandatory for MEPs to undergo training on preventing workplace conflict & harassment.
The training covers:
1️⃣ Building & leading a productive team
2️⃣ Preventing conflict & harassment in the workplace
It should be a given that all staff are safe from harassment. While mandatory training is a step in the right direction, real change requires large changes in administrative structures, commitment & a culture where harassment is never tolerated.
☝️Training alone is not enough!
@SonyaDiehn @POLITICOEurope has some good tips for MEPs on how to stay out of trouble: "Don’t bully
your colleagues" is one of them 😉

One week until the new @Europarl_EN mandate kicks off - despite the all-telling data from the anonymous survey conducted by @MeTooEP, only 1 of 7 political groups have reinforced internal protocols to combat harassment 🧐💭

'We were told that we needed to get used to the situation,' says former @Europarl_EN staffer @JeannePonte. Ten years after she began recording incidents of harassment in a notebook, leading to the #MeTooEP movement, has the institution changed?
