lpv:translated text	"It is a shameful thing that violence against women has become a worldwide phenomenon today, in the face of which national borders are of no significance. Such violence causes great suffering and destroys the lives of millions of women and thereby of entire families. In Europe alone, every fifth woman is a victim of violence, the consequences of which can be measured in the damage done to their physical and mental health and to that of their children and family members. For violence may lurk in seemingly peaceful family homes as well as in intimacy in the workplace, in the increasingly harsh modes of behaviour between the sexes, in sexual harassment, and in its harshest form it manifests itself in enforced prostitution, which is the contemporary world’s version of slavery. We cannot ignore the fact that the countless forms of violent and sexually degrading behaviour arise from certain social customs and traditions that are unacceptable to Europeans. These include enforced genital mutilation and the institution of forced marriage. Sadly, these unacceptable forms of behaviour have also made their appearance within the EU. All of these phenomena fundamentally violate human rights, which constitute one of the cornerstones of the European Communities and of the Union. The defence of these rights require the cooperation of law enforcement and judicial authorities as well as the joint action of Member States and of the European institutions. The Daphne III Programme can count on widespread public support, for during the World Cup championships alone, our campaign against forced prostitution was able to garner 100 000 signatures and the assistance of Commissioner Frattini, as well as the voluntary collaboration of the police forces of the countries concerned. If we were able to keep sport clean, we should also strive to preserve the peace and cleanliness of family life and find the strength necessary for community action."@en1
