"In some armed conflicts, the warring sides have a formidable weapon at their disposal, that of mass gang rape. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), rebel groups in the east regularly commit this type of abuse. Other practices follow, with equally dramatic physical and psychological consequences, such as sexual slavery and human trafficking. The Peace and Security cluster is one of the main pillars of the strategic partnership between the European Union and the African Union. In August 2011, the European Commission decided to provide a further EUR 300 million to be used
to finance civilian peacekeeping missions. I voted in favour of this resolution because it urges European stakeholders to coordinate our efforts more effectively to protect women during times of war. Although funds have been mobilised and highly-qualified teams are being deployed on the ground, the violence continues and is even intensifying. The rapporteur’s recommendations concerning prevention, urgency, special attention and punishment must be implemented as quickly as possible."@en1
