"Violence against women is a reality all too often overlooked: it is thought that between 20 and 25% of European women will have already been subjected to physical violence at least once in their adult life. Last week, the European Parliament adopted a report on this issue and on the need to establish a political framework in this area and I, for one, welcome it. Our report seeks to encourage all EU Member States to consider violence against women a crime and hence to establish an instrument under criminal law to combat this violence. Moreover, and importantly, I voted for the introduction of a mechanism to facilitate access to free legal aid, and for urgent psychological aid services to be provided free of charge for victims. I also supported the amendments recognising the ‘serious problem of prostitution’ and which consider that ‘violence against women’ encompasses prostitution. Lastly, I voted in favour of rape and sexual violence being considered a crime, even within marriage or any other type of intimate relationship."@en1
