"It is extremely important that this report by Mrs Gröner be adopted, and I wish to commend her on her work. The Daphne Programme can help prevent and combat violence against children, young people and women and protect the victims, an area that must be strengthened. In so doing, continuity will be provided for previous Daphne programmes and the scope of those programmes extended.
Violence against women, and the suffering, and in many cases the death, that it leads to, cannot be tolerated any more. This is a fight that requires constant effort and action, and must not be confused with other actions. For women’s rights to be resolutely defended, the Daphne III programme must, as suggested in the proposal before us, remain separate, and increased funding is required if we are to counter physical, sexual and psychological violence more effectively, including the violence associated with the trafficking of human beings for the purposes of sexual exploitation, and domestic violence, and threats of such acts, of which women, young people and children are the main victims.
Preventative action must be taken in the form of awareness-raising campaigns, for example the European Year against violence against women. Moreover, action must be taken in support of the victims. In order to establish clear, credible targets for effectively reducing violence, public policy needs to be more proactive and greater financial support is required for the organisations involved in this fight. Hence the reinforcement that we have proposed and that we hope will be adopted."@en1
