lpv:translated text	"Under conditions of armed conflict, women and girls often become easy targets. Violence against them has long-term consequences both for the victims themselves, their families, and for their communities and, ultimately, societies. In some countries around the world, sexual offences and other kinds of violence against women are justified, devised and encouraged as a tactic of war to demoralise the enemy. The definition of war crimes should therefore also be extended so that sexual crimes are considered to be the same as other war crimes and it is impossible to avoid responsibility for such crimes. At the same time, the positive role women play in conflict prevention and reconciliation is not sufficiently understood or exploited. I therefore voted in favour of this report, which draws attention to the multifaceted nature of the problem and sets out many proposals, the implementation of which would, I believe, enable greater progress to be made in protecting women and children from sexual violence during armed conflicts."@en1
