"Mr President, gender policies must indeed be mainstreamed and incorporated into all political, social and institutional dimensions. I believe that the report is a good demonstration of this in relation to medical and health practices and therefore join with previous speakers in congratulating Mrs Svensson, the rapporteur. As several studies indicate, men and women are treated unequally in terms of prescription, treatment and medical and health costs. To quote examples mentioned in the report, women are victims of specific violence, genital mutilation and of diseases such as osteoporosis, breast cancer and eating disorders. Women also suffer as a result of sexual exploitation, prostitution and a lack of safety at the workplace. These are specific issues that call for specific treatment. Of the reasons why we take a positive view of this report, I would like to stress its insistence on the need for the States and the Commission to adopt a gender perspective in their policies. I was therefore also pleased to hear what the Commissioner said at the beginning."@en1
