Origin - 2017 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, after paragraph 6, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly is concerned that mounting xenophobia, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in Europe may cause deterioration in the already fragile security situation for women who are subject to violence in public spaces because of their origin and/or religion. In this context, it is of the utmost importance that Member States place particular importance on addressing the security needs of women who may be especially targeted by xenophobic, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic perpetrators".
