"Madam President, at the outset, I would like to say that if a Member of this House has used the words ‘poison in society’ when referring to members of the gay and lesbian community, I think that this Parliament should disassociate themselves from that remark and I would like it if you would do something to address that, Madam President.
In my notes that I made I wanted to welcome the special attention this report has given to issues such as freedom of religion, freedom of expression and violence against women and young girls and, in particular, the focus that it places on the issues of forced child labour, poverty and malnutrition. All too often we hear horrific stories of rape, torture, and forced marriage, of young women in particular, and we have an obligation to help them. The best policy that we can do is to support them, to engage with them and maybe to educate them as well, which is something we have heard recently in many debates in this Chamber, and to allow them to think and to act for themselves.
The report reiterates the importance of mainstreaming human rights and democracy in all EU activities and calls for the commitment of placing human rights at the centre of all EU relations with third countries. We see that what we have to do is more than just words, we have to support people with freedom of religion, freedom of expression and indeed freedom of thought."@en1
