"Minors rarely find the courage to speak about the crimes committed against them. This silence, firstly, encourages criminals to keep offending, secondly, prevents the authorities from acting to eliminate it and, thirdly and most importantly, children continue to be abused, with incalculable consequences on their life, health and personality; at the same time, the consequences of this particular crime clearly affect the child in later life and hence the future of society. Studies into the problem estimate that between 10% and 20% of children have been sexually abused. These figures are terrifying. An approach needs to be chosen and applied that aims to address the underlying causes of the problem in a bid to combat this crime. A society that encourages respect for vulnerable people, such as children, should make a consistent effort to foster a culture in which the sexual abuse and exploitation of children are considered intolerable. This is the spirit of the report and I voted in favour of it."@en1
