"This Friday we are marking the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It is a reminder that this violation of human rights continues globally. 1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence. 4.5 million people are victims of forced sexual exploitation – 98% of them are women and girls. 32 countries exempt rape perpetrators from prosecution when they are married to or subsequently marry the victim. Just now Turkey tried to reintroduce the inhumane law. We can only stop this by working together. More men must stand up against violence, denounce it, and stop it. Male leaders, including traditional and religious leaders, must lead the way. Violence against women is a serious impediment to women’s progress in any area of life. Combating all forms of violence against women must therefore be a priority for the EU and I call on the EU to ratify the Istanbul Convention. We need to address the root causes of gender inequality and support better services for women in violent situations, more accurate reporting of risk and prevalence, and provide greater help for women’s organisations. All of us must work tirelessly to stop violence, whatever form it takes."@en1
