lpv:translated text	"The own-initiative report on women in prisons is highly symbolic. On the one hand it confirms the very pragmatic position of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, and on the other hand it confirms the admirable commitment of our colleague Mrs Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou. I must stress that Mrs Marie Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou is very active in my committee and I congratulate her on her working attitude that is always responsible. When working on this report we paid a personal visit to the women’s prison in Bruges. Because of this visit I can say that the report is not at all purely theoretical. I am glad that the report deals with the situation of women in prison in all its complexity. Personally, I would in particular like to emphasise the importance of protecting children from psychological harm while their parents are in prison. The following is based on my personal experience. Under the Communist regime, when I was five years old, my father was arrested and sentenced to a long term in prison for fabricated political reasons. Teachers in school often asked me where he was and why he never came to parent teacher meetings, although everyone knew that he was in prison. It was painful. Children should not suffer the trauma inflicted on them by the insensitive behaviour of those around them, adding to the stigma of their parents’ imprisonment. Staying in regular personal contact with imprisoned mothers is vital for their future lives and future interpersonal relations. In conclusion, I want to draw your attention in particular to paragraph 22 of the report and stress the emphasis Mrs Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou places on maintaining family ties."@en1
