"I voted for this resolution on women’s situation in war because I think that the human rights of women and girls are an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of universal human rights. Sexual violence in the form of mass rape, human trafficking and other forms of sexual abuse committed against women and children is still used unacceptably as a war tactic in conflict regions around the world. The effects of violence, both physical and psychological, are devastating for the victims, as they are often stigmatised, rejected, mistreated and considered to be dishonoured and, in many cases, are excluded from their communities and sometimes even murdered. We call on the authorities to identify and punish those who commit atrocities against women (rape, murder and infanticide) and children in conflict zones. Closer cooperation is needed with local women’s organisations in order to establish an early warning system and possibly enable them to prevent or reduce the incidence of abuse themselves. We call on the EU’s budgetary authority to increase the financial resources allocated for promoting gender equality and women’s rights in the future Development Financing Instruments for the 2014-2020 period."@en1
