"I voted in favour of the report on women’s situation in war because it is essential to ensure the safety of women who decide to take the brave career path of involvement in war. In many conflict areas around the world, sexual assaults, including mass rape and other forms of abuse such as trafficking human beings as a war tactic, are still common, and women are the main victims. These intolerable acts of violence have serious psychological and physical effects on victims and their families. We need to be harder when punishing the perpetrators of criminal acts against women in times of war. Impunity must not be negotiable and there should be no peace without justice.
Furthermore, judicial proceedings against the perpetrators of violence against women in war are often too slow, creating further distress for the victims. Lastly, it is important to increase the participation of women in decision-making roles on peace processes and in defining security measures. Women are often more sensitive to the needs of society and can make a real contribution to peace-building operations, particularly when it comes to requirements connected to children, schools and hospitals."@en1
