lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the status of women in society is not just a matter of whether society is just and agreeable. Improving the status of women is one of the most effective ways of developing society as a whole and making it more stable. Moreover, the position of women in the developing countries is connected with our security. The Central Intelligence Agency in the United States made a study of countries torn apart by genocide and violence, and discovered that a high child mortality rate is the clearest indicator that a society is caught up in a spiral of internal violence. A high child mortality rate is of course the connection with the status of women. It has also been found that terrorist groups, which we now fear so much, recruit members from areas where there are a lot of unemployed young men with no good prospects for the future. These young, unemployed groups form in countries with high birth rates. The birth rate, on the other hand, goes down when the social position of women improves, when they receive an education and information on birth control, and when they have their own means of earning a livelihood. With regard to development cooperation policy it therefore has to be understood that improving the status of women is one of the most effective ways of promoting development in general; not only that, but it can help to promote stability and prevent new hotbeds of conflict from springing up."@en1
