We have achieved progress, but much remains to be done. Our work will continue to develop on the promotion of the participation of women in the political and public life, their empowerment in all spheres, and we count on an increased cooperation with UN Women to do so.

Mr. President, Dear Colleagues,

The efforts to make the Istambul Convention enter into force, is not only a wide job for us. It is our duty.

Everyday, when we notice the multiple signs of violence against women in the European territory, we will remember this tragedy is affecting the majority of our society: womem!

Everytime we watch, read and ear, killings, aggressions, rapes, mutilations, forced marriages, forced abortions, forced sterilizations, only because of gender nature, we will remember this Convention is still incomplete, because it has not entered into force.

Everytime we meet our ministers at the corners of political life, we have to face them, eyes on the eyes, and ask them: “why did you not signed it yet?”. Or, “what are you waiting for ratification?”

It might happen the victim to be our daughter, our sister, our friend, our colleague at work, or even our unknown member of human kind.

And it matters, yes!, it matters because it hurts flesh, skin and minds. Because it poisons our society we declare ourselves committed to be free and safe. Safe from fear! Safe from violence! Lets do it! ANEXO D

Allow me a special mention to Mrs. Memecan, and her proposal that the name of the perpetrators should be more publicized than the one of the victims. This is an interesting concept that deserves a deeper analysis in the future.

And finally, since this is her last session, her last report in our Assembly, I wish to thank Lydie Err for her commitment, her dynamism and her active participation in the work of the Assembly; Dear Lydie,

Your work with the Venice Commission, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the Committee on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men which now became the Committee on Equality and
