Hungary. Magyar announces measures to strengthen women's rights

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced measures to enhance women's rights, including stricter penalties for domestic violence, abolishing restrictive abortion rules, and improving access to emergency contraception. The package also includes ratifying the Istanbul Convention, which Hungary signed in 2014 but never ratified. Magyar emphasized that the new regulations aim to empower women in making informed decisions regarding their health and safety. He also pledged to revise criminal laws related to restraining orders and to criminalize the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, reinforcing the importance of consent in sexual activities.
