As rapporteur on this issue in the context of the ACP-EN Parliamentary Assembly, I addressed issues of post-conflict rehabilitation.
At the time, we felt it was of pressing importance that the issue of equality between the sexes in conflict prevention and resolution should be incorporated, and that women should take part in the political decision-making process and in defining conflict resolution strategies.
I wish to reiterate the need to offer resolute support for women combatants, refugees, victims of physical violence and victims of sexual abuse. We must remain permanently vigilant and must show greater resoluteness and solidarity when it comes to these shocking acts.
I regret that the rapporteur emphasises the suffering of women in conflict situations in order to impose and export her notion of ‘sexual and reproductive health’, including the promotion of abortion, which is certainly not accepted by all Member States. As I have said before, I will not vote for a text that fails to clarify this concept and that extends its remit beyond the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, and beyond the provision for women of the decent conditions they need for pregnancy, childbirth and post-childbirth."@en1
