"Mr President, Commissioner, in recent years we have seen a whole raft of literary accounts of the situation of women, and particularly girls, in Pakistan. They are written by people who have spent years observing the situation, in rural areas above all, and who, by using examples from their own lives, have described how girls are denied an education, how young women, once married, are pushed out of the workplace, how normal it is still is, in spite of legal provisions to the contrary, for women to be dependent on older brothers or their husbands.
Women make up 30 % of the Pakistani Parliament and a great deal of progress has already been made. However, the laws adopted in Pakistan also need to be enforced and to become part of everyday life. I see in the case of Malala Yousafzai a powerful appeal to us to provide the help and support needed to achieve that. We have a responsibility to promote human rights and civil liberties in Pakistan. We must acknowledge the progress that has already been made there at parliamentary level, but, most importantly, we must see to it that it is put into practice."@en1
