lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, we are debating this issue today on what would have marked Rosa Parks’ 100th birthday, and I am sure she would have agreed that a zero-tolerance approach to violence against women and girls – wherever it occurs – has to be our goal. The Commissioner outlined the shocking statistics that one in five women in the EU had suffered violence, and that one in ten had suffered forced sexual violence. This cannot be tolerated. We have to do more. I was also pleased to hear from the Commissioner this evening that our approach to condemning violence against women and girls also applies to her external relations policy. During the last Strasbourg session we debated the tragic case of the young medical student in India who died from her injuries after a horrific gang rape. According to Amnesty International, a rape is reported every 21 minutes in India, but not all rapes are reported. Of those rapes that were reported in 2011, only one led to a conviction. It is therefore right that this Parliament expresses solidarity with the victims of these crimes to ensure that, across the world, violence and sexual assault against women is a crime."@en1
