Tell key Flemish ministers: Stop the burn. Use the law. Save lives.
Right now, $10 million worth of life-saving contraceptives are sitting in a warehouse in Flanders, Belgium – at risk of being burned on Trump’s orders. Flemish leaders have the legal power to stop their destruction. They don’t need new laws – just the courage to enforce existing ones.
Your voice can help tip the balance. Send an email to key Flemish ministers now and demand urgent action to protect women’s health and dignity.
Need help getting started? Here’s what to include in your message:
- Share why protecting this medical aid matters to you personally. Are you concerned about women’s rights? Global health? Wasting usable medical aid?
- Ask Flemish ministers to stop the destruction by using existing Flemish and European laws. They already have the legal power – they just need to act.
- Suggest real solutions. Encourage them to:
- Publicly commit to stopping the burn;
- Use the law to seize medical aid in the public interest, just as France did with masks and hospital equipment during the pandemic;
- Help redirect the contraceptives to women and girls who urgently need them;
- Stand up to injustice: share why you think it is important for Europe to take a stand at this moment.
- Be respectful, but clear: Ministers are more likely to listen to thoughtful, personal messages – not angry rants. Let them know people across Europe are watching and expect action.
- Make sure to sign your message with your name and country.
