"Madam President, this important 2009 report quite rightly states that violence is a fundamental obstacle to equality between men and women. However, it does not refer specifically to domestic violence. Unfortunately, this problem is rife and it affects every community. In Greece, for example, 35 spouse murders have been recorded over the past eighteen months.
And yet, support structures for abused women are basic or even non-existent. The European Parliament should encourage the Member States, including Greece, to create support structures for abused women in every local authority, with full psychological, legal and professional counselling and properly staffed hostels for women.
The Member States should also take account of the amendments proposed by women’s organisations and lawyers to remedy the ambiguities and loopholes in the law in connection with domestic violence. Finally, anti-sexist education programmes should be introduced in schools in a bid to change social stereotyping."@en1
