"Mr President, the Beijing +5 Conference has not actually made any significant progress in achieving the aims defined in the Beijing 1995 action programme.
The women’s march for equal opportunities and the affirmation of differences still has a long way to go and is effectively full of dangerous paths. This became clear in New York when Islamic fundamentalists attacked what, in recent years, has characterised women’s demands: an end to domestic rape and violence, an end to the right for men to commit
and an end to female circumcision. However, it must, of course, be appreciated – as Commissioner Patten said, moreover – that the Conference as a whole confirmed and consolidated women’s rights as human rights.
However, similar positions on sexual rights, sexual health and the self-determination of women have caused an unholy alliance – evident at Beijing – to be formed between Christian and Islamic fundamentalists, including the Vatican, Poland, Nicaragua and a number of Islamic countries.
Furthermore, I feel that mainstreaming and empowerment were consolidated in this Conference, and also the fight against poverty and trafficking in human beings, but that there was an absence of tangible, verifiable objectives such as the need for a greater representation of women in the institutions and also for projects to fight poverty. I welcome the positive contribution made by Europe to forging closer relationships with other countries and the NGOs."@en1
