"I supported the European Parliament’s resolution on mobility and inclusion of people with disabilities and the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020. As a member of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, I would like to draw particular attention to the need for considering gender issues in the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020.
Nearly 80% of women with disabilities fall victim to violence. The risk of sexual violence is higher in their case due to their physical, economic, social or mental dependence on other people. In the case of domestic violence, women with disabilities remain with the perpetrator nearly twice as long as people with no disabilities. Women with disabilities suffer double discrimination on the grounds of their gender and on the grounds of their disability. Therefore, public campaigns concerning the situation of people with disabilities and, in particular, of women with disabilities, as well as activities aimed at raising awareness of their situation, are essential.
Moreover, it is important to optimise the use of structural funds in these areas and to increase funding possibilities for such actions in post-2013 programmes. I support the European Parliament’s call for the Commission to assess whether further measures taken in the context of the European Structural Funds with special regard to the Rural Development Fund help people with disabilities to be active citizens living in rural areas in Europe."@en1
