“On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, let us remember that behind every number there is a face, a name and a story – women like Giulia Cecchettin in Italy, Debora Mihaylova in Bulgaria and Gisèle Pélicot in France,” she said in a video message published on the European Commission website.

Ursula von der Leyen also said that the stories of victims must be told in order to end violence.
