The government is repaying its decades-old debt – women's rights NGOs on Péter Magyar's announcements

Women’s rights organizations welcomed the Hungarian government’s announcement of a comprehensive package to combat violence against women. This initiative follows years of advocacy and discussions with various ministries. Key measures include ratifying the Istanbul Convention, tightening restraining orders, and recognizing intimate image abuse as a separate crime. Organizations like NANE and Patent emphasized the need for proper training for professionals dealing with violence cases. They expressed hope for ongoing consultations with the government to address systemic issues. The announcement was seen as a long-overdue response to decades of neglect in addressing violence against women in Hungary.
