An illustration of the Charles Bridge in Prague with a text that reads: "The Charles Bridge in Prague revolutionised the relationship between East and West, unlocking prosperity through connection and collaboration. Be the architect of a stronger Europe. Europe's economic strength is built on opening doors, not closing them. A prosperous Europe needs trusted global partnerships."

Europe thrives when it opens doors, not closes them. The Charles Bridge once connected distant economies, just like smart EU investments today. A prosperous Europe needs global partnerships, especially in Africa.

Europe’s greatest landmarks started as bold ideas.

Now it’s our turn. As EU leaders draft the next #EUbudget, they face a choice: build bridges with global partners or retreat.

#DecrimSexWork

As deep cuts to development aid put millions at risk and undermine global progress, we urge EU Ministers of Development to:

🔹 show global solidarity
🔹 increase funding
🔹 show decisive diplomatic leadership

We must protect global health, peace & stability!

See the visual for our call to action ⤵️

As the EU Ministers of Development gather today at the FAC DEVE Meeting, ODA cuts across donor countries threaten the rights & lives of millions, especially women, girls & marginalised populations. Decades of progress on democracy, human rights & global cooperation are at risk. The EU must act now!
