Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced that Hungary will seek parliamentary ratification of the Istanbul Convention as part of a package addressing violence against women. The proposed measures include tighter restraining orders, making the misuse of intimate recordings a separate criminal offense, strengthening protections for sexual self-determination, and giving domestic violence victims special treatment in criminal proceedings. The package also proposes changes to abortion rules and access to emergency contraception. Hungary signed the Council of Europe treaty in 2014, but parliament rejected ratification in 2020.
