Hungria: Magyar anuncia ratificação de Convenção de Istanbul e medidas de protecção de mulheres

Hungary's Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced significant measures to protect women, including ratifying the Istanbul Convention and abolishing a law requiring women to hear fetal heartbeat before abortion. This initiative follows a proposal from 44 female MPs of the Tisza party, which recently ended Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule. The Istanbul Convention aims to protect victims of violence, particularly women and children, and holds countries accountable for failing to address such issues. Magyar also pledged to enhance penalties for certain crimes, criminalize non-consensual intimate recordings, and provide special treatment for domestic violence victims. The announcement received positive feedback from women's rights organizations, which had previously faced neglect of their proposals. Additionally, Magyar's ex-wife, former Justice Minister Judit Varga, has been involved in controversy regarding her past actions in office.
