Nika Kovač did not wait for the EU to act, she built a movement that made it act. In this Partisan Deep Dive, the main lead of the My Voice My Choice campaign joins the experts who backed it at the institutional level in Brussels to unpack how a European Citizens' Initiative moved from street organising to a genuine policy win. 

The campaign gathered over 1.1 million verified signatures across all 27 member states, won backing from the European Parliament, and pushed the Commission to confirm that EU funds can be used to close the gap on abortion access. We talk about what it actually took to translate grassroots pressure into an institutional result, where the campaign nearly stalled, and what political organisers working on other causes can lift straight from this playbook.
