lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it saddens me very much that we have to hold this debate on violence against women, since it means that we are talking about an active, live issue. The report by Mrs Carlshamre, whom I congratulate on her work, reminds us, amongst other things, that violence against women is a scourge that knows no national, religious, social or economic boundaries; on the contrary, as has been said, it is a universal phenomenon, relating to the inequalities in our societies in terms of the distribution of power and of roles between the sexes. It is for this very reason that the response must be firm, here in Europe and in other countries where, as in Mexico or Guatemala, the situation has become so bad that there is even talk of ‘feminicides’. The time for rhetoric and condemnation, however, is far behind us. Now is the time to act, to adopt measures in support of the victims, to apply proactive and preventive strategies and to establish effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties. But in order for those measures to be effective, we must provide them with the necessary human and financial resources. A few days ago we celebrated the first anniversary of the law on gender violence in Spain. That date gives us the opportunity to insist, as the Carlshamre report does, that violence against women must be seen as a clear breach of the most fundamental human rights and that, as well as reactive measures, we must establish programmes of a holistic nature to deal seriously with the issue of the distribution of roles in our society and, in particular, the perception that persists amongst many men that women are merely objects at their disposal and that they therefore have the right to hit them or mistreat them, and even sometimes to kill them. In short, I fear that the real problem exists within the heads of many men, and that is where action must be taken."@en1
