"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur particularly for listening to, and including, so much of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM) opinion in his report.
Back in March, the UN convened for the 60th session of the Commission on the Status of Women. Members of the UN discussed and debated a number of key points pertaining to the equality of women and men, and the result was an ambitious document. This included issues around violence against women. The FEMM Committee opinion calls on the governments of the five states to fully implement the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and demands that they treat violence against women as a criminal offence.
I would like to acknowledge that in some of those states some significant work has been done and some progress made. Across the five states, violence against women has been described by the UN as prolific and pervasive; one third of girls report domestic violence as part of their lives. This is worse in rural areas. So we welcome the close attention paid to the area of improving access to land, including equal opportunities to buy and invest. As well as guaranteeing inheritance rights, land ownership rights are essential if women are to be helped out of poverty."@en1
