"I want to thank Mrs Gröner and Commissioner Frattini for their excellent work. In the Committee on Civil liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, I was responsible for sending this report back to the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, where it belongs.
Daphne is an issue dear to the heart of Swedish Social Democrats because it was Swedish Commissioner Mrs Gradin who made such a vigorous commitment to the EU’s role in combating violence against women.
As long as men perpetrate violence against women and children, as long as the sex slave trade involving women and young girls exists, as long as not all women in the EU are entitled to free abortion, as long as women in the EU are affected by honour crimes involving violence and as long as women’s rights in the EU need to be strengthened, we Social Democratic women will continue to fight for Daphne and for proper financial support for the programme. I regret the fact that we did not obtain support for setting up a network of children’s ombudsmen but, on that issue, I shall get back to Commissioner Frattini and others when we take a decision on the strategy for children. What is so fantastic about Daphne is that it is the organisations’ ability to try out new ideas and to take inspiration from examples of good practice that we can make use of in the fight against violence throughout the EU."@en1
