"Mr President, as we have heard, women make up only 5% of the European prison population. Half of these are mothers with young children and most of them have suffered violence and abuse in the past.
I welcome this report wholeheartedly and I thank all those involved with it. The report stresses that the Member States must encourage the development of specific conditions for women in detention centres. Emphasis on human dignity is in my opinion a key issue for successful future social reintegration. A friendly environment must be created for children’s visits and women must be educated to understand the meaning of human dignity.
I am therefore very surprised by the Liberals’ request for a separate vote on paragraph 19, which proposes giving women the right to take part in religious services. I find it upsetting that women inside prisons could, depending on the outcome of the vote tomorrow, have different rights to women who are outside prison walls."@en1
