Response to Action plan against cyberbullying

25 Sept 2025

Christian Council International (CCI) appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on the initiative for an Action Plan Against Cyberbullying. In the attached feedback, we offer concrete, substantiated recommendations that, we believe, are essential for the successful implementation of the Strategy. Specifically: the scope of the Action Plan, the role of parents, freedom of speech, pornography, and access to social media. Let us not forget, however, that the true cause of cyberbullying is the sinful nature of our hearts, and that only a renewed heart by the Holy Spirit of God can bring true love and respect among people. When this occurs, cyberbullying would cease to exist. It is our sincere hope for Europe that this necessity is recognised and prayed for.

Response to Gender Equality Strategy 2026-2030

31 Jul 2025

Christian Council International (CCI) is grateful for the chance to give feedback on the EU Gender Equality Strategy 20202025. We support the effort to protect the dignity of every person and to remove barriers that limit women from fully participating in society. But we believe some parts of the strategy need to be rethought. Equality must be based on truth and protect life, family, and freedom of belief. As the EU plans the next strategy, we hope it will protect rights without sidelining different beliefs. The feedback attached highlights areas of concern and gives recommendations we believe will lead to a more balanced approach.
