  3. Highlights - LIBE-FEMM: Vote on key files concerning Consent Legislation and Victims’ Rights - Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality

    Votes
    On 25 February 2026, Members of LIBE and FEMM Committees will vote on two significant files addressing the importance of sexual consent-based rape legislation and the rights of victims of crime across the European Union.

    The Members will first vote on the non-legislative report on the "Importance of consent-based rape legislation in the EU" (2025/2040(INI)).

    They will also vote on the provisional agreement resulting from interinstitutional negotiations on the proposal to amend Directive 2012/29/EU, which establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime. The proposal (2023/0250(COD) - COM(2023)0424 - C9-0303/2023) aims to update and strengthen the existing framework, replacing Council Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA.

    The outcomes of these votes are expected to mark an important step in the EU's ongoing efforts to reinforce protections for victims and advance consent-based approaches within criminal law across Member States.
