".
Madam President, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality regrets the fact that both in the communication on the draft strategy for legal migration and in the text which we are asked to vote on today very little reference has been made to the problem of the equality of women.
We therefore call on the Commission, the Member States and the various groupings of the Council with responsibilities in this area to step up their efforts. The coordination of policies for legal migration must provide for special protection to be given to the right of female migrants who suffer from double discrimination. Illegal immigration must be opposed; it promotes networks of various forms of exploitation of vulnerable men, women and children.
We stress the importance of a global approach to legal migration policies. Two-way action integration measures must be included to strengthen both acceptance by host societies and the readiness of male and female immigrants to integrate.
Women and their families contribute significantly to this, and family reunification should be facilitated by means of an independent status. We need to combat discrimination, amputations, forced marriage, polygamy, honour crimes and violence of any kind in the society of origin, and to strengthen the legal development of women’s skills."@en1
