25/01/2023 | 18:21:24 Thank you, Mister President. Dear Colleagues, First of all, I would like to congratulate the three rapporteurs, Ms Zita GURMAI, Ms Petra STIENEN and Ms Margreet De BOER, for the quality of the reports and to thank them for their commitment to the fight against violence against women. Thank you very much. I would like to stress what I have said several times: the Istanbul Convention is the most comprehensive international instrument to prevent and combat violence against women.

I would also like to thank the colleague who reminded us that Iranian women are not allowed to play sports... 13/10/2022 | 17:41:48 Thank you, Mr President. Dear colleagues, The preparation of this report "Levelling the playing field - ending discrimination against women in sport" has given me a better understanding of the reality of the world of sport and of the many deep-seated inequalities that still often go unnoticed. Inequalities in salary, treatment and status between women and men are still common in the field of sport. Women, in all their diversity, are poorly represented in decision-making bodies, national...
