"The report refers to UN Resolution 1325 and aims at combating sexual violence against women and children during armed conflict. I voted for this report because women must have an increasingly active involvement in peacekeeping operations, both at the prevention stage and in conflict mediation, particularly through occupying leading positions both within national governments and at political level. At the same time, they must also be included in civilian operations as they are much better communicators than men on the ground. Women must also be involved in the peace-building phase because, as the pillars supporting their communities, they have a much better perception of the practical needs which the peace-building projects should address. Although there has been a rise in the number of women in representative institutions, women’s participation in peace negotiations remains low at below 10% of those formally involved. The report strongly condemns the use of sexual violence against women as a weapon of war. This is why one of the main calls made by the rapporteur is for the post of Special EU Representative on Women, Peace and Security to be created."@en1
