"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, many goals have been reached but some battles have not yet even begun. Today, the urgent issue is that of women of other cultures living in Europe and around the world in conditions where they struggle to demand even the minimum standards of dignity and humanity.
We cannot celebrate this holiday without bringing the issue of women in the Arab-Muslim world to the fore, otherwise we will continue to ignore a problem which is theirs today but will soon become ours as well. We cannot ignore the numbers involved in a crisis that grows year by year in Europe, in our cities, and in the schools where our children grow up.
There has, for a long time, been an increase in cases of violence of all kinds suffered by Muslim women within their own families. Hence, I have been asking for some time – and I ask for it again today – for Europe to put in place targeted policies against the spread of Islamic radicalism, against forced marriages, honour-rights, female genital mutilation and domestic violence.
We European men and women must fight for those women who live in Europe and beyond, who have no voice, and who are oppressed by the monster of Islamic fundamentalism."@en1
