"The official figures on violence against women are much lower compared to the sad reality in each Member State. Officially, between 2004 and 2009, approximately 60 000 cases of domestic violence were recorded, with almost 800 cases resulting in the victim’s death. Out of all the women abused, 70% put up with the abuse in silence and only 30% decide to make a complaint to the police. In this context, I support the provision of easy access to free legal aid for victims of violence against women. I think that declaring a European Year of Combating Violence Against Women has the potential to raise awareness among Europeans about this problem which features in the everyday lives of a significant number of women in the European Union. I voted for this report as I support the importance of a European charter which will set out a minimum level of assistance services to be offered to victims of violence against women, with the aim of reducing the incidence of this problem in all Member States."@en1
