lpv:translated text	"The report by the rapporteur, Mrs Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou, has come just at the time when changes to prison infrastructures, including the creation of female-only prisons, are under way in many Member States. Geographic location is an important factor: it can, for example, make it easier for female prisoners to maintain family ties and friendships and take part in religious services. The impact of isolation and distress on female prisoners, in particular on mothers and pregnant women, can have harmful consequences for the mother herself but also, mainly, for her child and his or her development. That is why taking part in religious services can bring about positive changes in the lives of these prisoners. Human dignity and respect for fundamental rights are values that must be rigorously applied in the Member States’ prison policies. Maintaining order in prisons requires qualified staff capable of nipping violence against, and abuse of, women in the bud. Nor should we forget that staff should also be capable of offering psychological support because many women have often been traumatised in the past. Congratulations to the rapporteur on providing a current analysis containing several significant findings. The report also introduces a series of proposals and suggestions for improving conditions for female prisoners, in particular single mothers and young prisoners. I am pleased that the rapporteur pays particular attention to pregnant women. Women in prison have often been the victim of violence. This area must therefore be approached in a very sensitive way, with the courage to introduce new innovative measures concerning prison policy. After their release from prison, women must be offered all possible assistance in order to facilitate problem-free reintegration into society."@en1
