"Mr President, on the International Day against Human Trafficking for social exploitation, some figures were revealed that should make us act as political leaders.
More than 90% of the prostitution in Europe arises from blackmail and extortion. In response to these figures, we should ask ourselves if we are doing everything necessary to protect the dignity and integrity of thousands of women whose rights are also protected by the Charter of Fundamental Rights that we adopted with the Treaty of Lisbon.
We are not talking about the ‘oldest profession in the world’, but about the only form of slavery that we have not succeeded in eradicating from the old Europe. Countries such as Spain are making significant efforts in this respect, prosecuting traffickers, raising public awareness and promoting reintegration plans for the women who are the victims. This is not enough. Europe needs to be a single area of action and commitment.
The next directive on trafficking is an opportunity to act on the demand for the industry through education and, in terms of supply, for example, to make advertising difficult in all types of media, as well as increasing bilateral cooperation with third countries to fight this scourge from its source.
We have an opportunity. I would like to draw Parliament’s attention to this so that it continues to be in the vanguard in terms of citizens’ rights."@en1
