lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to thank Veronique De Keyser for having for the first time in the history of this Parliament included women's reproductive rights in her report. At the ICPD the international community placed reproductive health firmly in the context of human rights, and for a very good reason. When human rights treaties are interpreted, the biological differences between men and women are not taken into account and this has drastic consequences, especially with regard to the AIDS pandemic, 60% of those affected being women. Only 11% of women in a country like Zambia think that they have the right to ask their husbands to use a condom. Up to half the young women and girls in developing countries say that they were forced into their first sexual experience. They do not have abstinence as a choice. They may be faithful but their husbands are not, and they do not use a condom either. If fact married women have a higher frequency of HIV than unmarried women. These women desperately need to know that sexual and reproductive health is a right. I am appalled that some colleagues in this House want to deprive women of these rights in trying to suppress a chapter making them explicit in the human rights report. This House should be very clear in its support to these women; we can do that by voting in favour of Mrs De Keyser's amendments and her report."@en1
