"The revelations concerning the honour crimes and the humiliation suffered by women during the uprisings in the Arab world have shocked and disturbed me, and I am pleased that our Parliament has denounced the atrocities committed against them. Europe cannot allow such violations of human rights and of its most fundamental values to be committed with impunity on its doorstep, in partner countries, and against the backdrop of peaceful demonstrations. I therefore insist that these barbaric acts be investigated and that those responsible be punished. Our resolution addresses an essential requirement for the future of those countries: that of giving women a central role in the democratisation process in Arab societies. Women played a leading, silent, underestimated even, role in the liberation movements, and I think it was essential to pay tribute to it in this text. Europe has pledged to support the countries of North Africa, the Near East and the Middle East in their democratic process. It is now up to us to ensure that we include in that approach guarantees with regard to respect for human rights and equality between men and women."@en1
