". − It goes without saying that human dignity and the right to safety are fundamental values of life which must be protected. The very word ‘violence’ is so strongly charged with negative emotion that many people try to change the subject when gender-based violence is mentioned. However, it is our job to face up to difficult issues and to intervene in cases where society needs pointing in the right direction on political and legal questions. Let us not forget that violence against women, which includes the violation of dignity, sexual abuse, forced marriages and mutilation, is not only a problem for members of the female sex. It is a problem for the whole of society, and one which contributes to its widespread disintegration. The total costs are underestimated in this respect. Is it not the case that we all incur the expenditure resulting from such violence – the costs of medical care, psychological treatment, court proceedings and social care? The victims are frequently not capable of holding down a job. The Member States should consider drafting a plan to combat gender-based violence."@en1
