"Violence against women is both a global and European issue. Domestic violence, prostitution, human trafficking, it is a disgrace that we are still not in a position to protect women from violence in our societies. Such gender-based violence is a violation of fundamental rights and freedoms, as well as of rights to safety and to human dignity. The issue here involves both preserving the integrity of victims and looking after the core collective interests of society, such as liberty and democracy. The European Union must shoulder its responsibilities and introduce legislation to put an end to this violence.
I therefore voted for the introduction of measures such as a mechanism to facilitate access to free legal aid, financial aid arrangements aimed at promoting victims’ independence and facilitating their return to normal life and the world of work. Respect for human rights is a fundamental value enshrined in the Treaty on European Union. So let us respect women’s rights, too."@en1
