"Madam President, Donald Trump is certainly proving the substance of his misogyny to the world because stifling global funds for women’s reproductive health was one of his first acts as President. The fact of shutting us up, keeping women and girls subordinate, and starving women’s health programmes in the poorest countries of the vital money they need to save lives, is in itself an act of violence. Therefore I applaud the European governments which have come together and pledged to replace US aid money that is being pulled away worldwide.
Let us all commit here to replace every dollar withdrawn with money from Europe. I hope that the Commission and all the EU governments will step up to the mark.
However, my own UK Government has not yet committed to the initiative. I think that Theresa May’s holding hands with President Trump, hoping for a trade deal at any cost, shows that she has lost international credibility on issues such as this. It is only through solidarity and cooperation that we can turn back this misogynist tide.
Let us show this un—President Trump that this is about our bodies, our choice, our rights."@en1
