"The status of women in Islamic countries is complicated by enduring religious customs and traditions.
Especially in remote regions and areas controlled by radical religious political groups, brutal, medieval customs remain in use. Therefore, the European Union’s efforts to change the thinking of the populations of these countries towards a more humane and cultivated coexistence are hugely important. The EU’s activities in support of refuges for women who need protection against domestic violence or intimidation within the family as well as in public are extremely important. In addition to providing real humanitarian aid to women and girls on the ground, we must put sustained pressure on state authorities to use all their influence in society to curb these brutal practices against women and girls. State authorities must be the upholders of civilised and humane coexistence in society and must play a decisive role in combating the monstrosity of customs from the past."@en1
