I do not know if the member knows this, but women are 10 times more likely to suffer from a sexual assault than men are. That is why we are focused on ending violence against women, and time after time we are introducing new laws to protect women and children from violent rapists and offenders. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1960915\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are trying to introduce laws to make sure that we protect children from sexual predators and that we protect women from sexual slavery. That is the kind of initiative all of us can support, and we ask members to support us on it.</p>",

Il met l\u2019accent sur les enjeux qui nous rassemblent tous, comme la violence envers les femmes. Je ne sais pas si la d\u00e9put\u00e9e est au courant, mais le risque d\u2019\u00eatre agress\u00e9 sexuellement est 10 fois plus grand pour une femme que pour un homme. C'est pourquoi nous avons \u00e0 c\u0153ur de faire cesser la violence envers les femmes, et nous pr\u00e9sentons r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement de nouvelles lois pour prot\u00e9ger les femmes et les enfants contre les violeurs et les d\u00e9linquants violents.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1960915\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous tentons de pr\u00e9senter de nouvelles lois pour prot\u00e9ger les enfants contre les pr\u00e9dateurs sexuels et les femmes contre l\u2019esclavage sexuel. C'est le genre d\u2019initiatives que nous pouvons tous appuyer, et nous demandons aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s de nous soutenir dans cette entreprise.</p>"
