Violence against women, including the trafficking in human beings, prostitution, violence in the home and the workplace, is an extremely serious issue.
Of these manifestations, domestic violence is the most common, affecting millions of women in Europe. The rapporteur, whom I wish to congratulate on her work, has presented us with some figures, although it is known no studies have been carried out at Community level. Commissioner, measures must be taken without delay to ensure that this phenomenon is made more visible. After all, it is appalling that victims of violence die every year in the EU, including more than 100 000 women and many children, another area that must be taken into account.
I therefore hope that, after this debate, things do not simply continue as they have been. Hopefully, the instruments will actually be strengthened, as promised, measures will be implemented and the political will for effective change in this area will emerge."@en1
