lpv:translated text	"The background to my question is very clear indeed: 15-25% of all women are battered during pregnancy; 50% of all women who are murdered are murdered by their husbands or partners; violence is the biggest cause of harm inflicted upon women, responsible for more deaths and injury than robberies and car accidents combined; and only 2-3% of all rapists are sent to prison. It is unfortunately the case that assaults upon women within the family are not illegal in all countries. It is important that there should be legislation of this kind. At the same time, it is also incredibly important to understand that it is men’s behaviour and attitudes which must be changed. It is on this matter that I should like to see the Commission take action. What, specifically, is one prepared to do to ensure that this structural cause of violence, that it to say, men’s behaviour, is changed? What is one prepared to do to ensure that those countries which do not have legislation outlawing domestic violence against women in fact obtain such legislation?"@en1
