lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am happy to support this oral question. We need to put a stop to violence against women and girls. I am pleased the British Government has signed the Istanbul Convention and has expressed its intention to ratify. David Cameron’s government has placed women’s rights high on the political agenda. The British Prime Minister is committed to addressing the question of violence against women. In fact, in its latest review of discrimination against women, the United Nations praised the United Kingdom for a number of positive developments. Since coming into power in 2010, the Conservative-led government has adopted a new equality strategy. We have coordinated the G8’s adoption of the Declaration on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict. We have ratified the conventions on disabilities, child protection and human trafficking. And the UK Government intends to criminalise forced marriage. The ECR Group wants Member States to make policies which will help eradicate violence against women. However, it is no secret that we are opposed to further legislation at EU level. We believe instead that individual Member States have a responsibility for their own legal systems. It is their responsibility to initiate and implement policy and laws to tackle violence against women and girls. What we must do in this House is to share best practice and encourage each other to support women and eradicate violence."@en1
