"Madam President, in the United Kingdom today, one in four women will experience domestic abuse from the age of 16 years, often with years of psychological abuse. Over 300 000 women were sexually assaulted in the last year alone.
In response to these alarming figures, the UK Government has launched its own action plan to tackle all aspects of violence against women and children. The plan contains one hundred actions in the area of prevention, provision of services and partnership working, as well as justice outcomes and reducing the risk to victims. This plan should not be limited to the United Kingdom, but we should all recognise that violence against women and girls occurs in all countries and is an issue which crosses all borders. It is therefore vital that, in order to achieve our collective goals, we are able to implement effective and coordinated action. The message from this House should be clear: no level of violence against women and girls is acceptable in today’s society, here in the European Union or anywhere else in the world."@en1
