"Despite the fact that there has been progress in recent decades and years in combating violence against women and children, there is still more work to be done. The apathy and pseudo-morality found in society should give us pause for thought. The early stages of actual violence, such as intrusiveness, obscene remarks and harassment meted out by many migrants to western women on a daily basis are increasingly regarded as normal. The disregard for women has reached peak levels when a German judge refers to the husband’s right to use corporal punishment anchored in the Koran as a decisive factor in her judgment on a Muslim divorce case. By permitting migration, the EU has imported problems from every conceivable quarter, including honour killings, forced marriages and domestic violence in patriarchal family structures. Culture, religion and tradition should not be used to justify acts of violence. The proposed initiative includes a number of good ideas, but remains quite superficial overall, which is why I chose to abstain."@en1
