"I voted for the report, which shows great sensitivity in identifying possible ambiguities and gaps in the otherwise valid structure of the directive issued by the Commission.
In order to exercise their rights effectively, the victims of crime may need more specific measures and practical and operational tools, especially in certain areas and in the case of vulnerable groups in society.
In this respect, I would highlight the comments included in the 2011 Europol report on human trafficking, which clearly points to economic weakness and cultural conditioning as decisive factors in facilitating the operations of criminal organisations. The victims of these operations are often children or women from countries marked by poverty and severe political instability, who are exploited in a wide range of activities from construction to textiles or even begging and prostitution.
We should not forget that long-term situations of cultural and social fragility in certain areas of our countries still foster problems such as domestic violence and crimes against the person, which are very rarely reported or pursued in court. Further measures providing physical and personal protection, immediate support, and legal representation in criminal and civil court cases and in relations with the police are therefore essential for the directive to be properly implemented and for victims to be able to exercise their rights."@en1
