lpv:translated text	"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my thanks to the rapporteur, Mrs Carlshamre, for her report underlining very important aspects of the fight against violence perpetrated on women. I agree with her, and I think that it is very important for all of us to adopt zero tolerance towards all forms of violence. A chain is said to be only as strong as its weakest link and our society must be weak if it cannot protect its weakest link, which is to say its children. Feminist movements have been exposing violence against women and have always fought for women’s rights. As we observe the age of victims getting lower and lower, society must have the courage to protect young girls from violence and abuse. However, guilty persons are only occasionally exposed, and usually when it is already too late. Sadly, tragic stories make good articles and increase the incomes of tabloid newspapers. Unfortunately for the victim, this is a tragic fact. Young girls usually do not get a chance to live out their childhoods – as a result of violence they become women and often mothers prematurely. It is for this reason that I too raise my voice today, in order to draw attention to this issue, and to help efforts aimed at stopping the violence that we all know exists in society, although we tend to rely on others to fight against it on our behalf. I think that it is very important to adopt laws, recommendations and regulations, but we must also support consistent implementation and compliance in our everyday lives. Not far from the European Parliament there is a young woman in the street with one or two babies holding out a cup and begging for money. As she is a woman from a different ethnic group, we pretend this is of no concern to us, throw her a couple of cents and walk on."@en1
