European Parliament
Mairead McGuinness  (PPE ),
in writing.
– I voted, on this occasion, in favour of the words ‘violation of sexual and reproductive rights’, mentioned in recital K of this report. I would usually not support the term ‘reproductive rights’, which some say is synonymous with abortion. In this report, however, about the Daphne programme – a Community action programme to fight violence against women and children – ‘reproductive rights’ are mentioned in a different context. I could, therefore, support the text.
