and to assist victims of violence due to prostitution and/or trafficking. MS in Central and Eastern Europe tend to report progress in this area. An issue for the future is to ensure that the follow-up provides information which gives a systematic overview of the extent to which the MS have implemented the Palermo protocol and the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. EU commitments to achieve the objectives of the Beijing PfA Statistics on all forms of violence against women are crucial in monitoring progress towards fulfilling the three strategic objectives regarding violence against women in the Beijing PfA. In 2002, when the first EU indicators to monitor progress in this strategic area of concern were developed, the Council encouraged the MS to consider developing procedures for gathering data. This was in order to ensure that such statistics could be regularly produced on the proposed indicators and – as regards the qualitative indicators – so that regular examinations could be conducted. In the 10-year follow-up of the Beijing platform it was also noted that the existing data did not offer a comprehensive overview of the situation at the EU level. Furthermore, the report concluded that the development of adequate data-collection/statistics remains a challenging issue for the EU so as to allow identification of the extent of the problem as well as to monitor to what extent the preventative actions have been successful. In 2004 the Council again encouraged the MS to improve the collection, compilation and dissemination of timely, reliable and comparable data. The situation at the 15-year follow-up is more or less the same as the situation in 2002 and 2004. A key issue for further work in this field is thus to ensure that in the near future the Eurostat database will include timely, reliable and comparable statistics on different aspects of violence against women, including data on sexual harassment and trafficking. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 134 ANNEX DG G EN
5.5. Women and Armed Conflict (E) Women are affected by armed conflict in a variety of ways. Contemporary conflicts affect civilian population in particular. Women constitute "strategic targets", sometimes on a massive scale, as in the case of gang rape used as part of war tactics and "ethnic cleansing". Many women and girls also become combatants' domestic and sexual slaves. But women should be actors in all stages of the conflicts, in particular in the processes of peace and reconstruction. Equal rights and increased participation by women and women's organisations at all levels of responsibility are both essential goals and means of preventing and resolving conflicts and promoting a culture of peace. The French Presidency made the following observations based on the survey in 2008: - "Women and armed conflict" is not a specific issue in foreign and development policy. Instead it is addressed at different levels of government. - There is often little coordination between these different levels of government. MS do not have an overall strategy for incorporation of the issue in their foreign and development policy. - The incorporation of a gender perspective is effected in the training of the staff concerned, but to a lesser extent in the implementation of actions on the ground or in the reception of refugees and asylum seekers. - Women are systematically under-represented in decision-making bodies that deal with this issue EU commitments to achieve the objectives of the Beijing PfA When the Council of the European Union decided on the indicators in December 2008 it also encouraged all MS to draw up action plans or other measures for the implementation of UN SCR 1325 and urged the MS and the European Commission to give special attention to the specific needs of women and to mainstream women's civil, political, economic social and cultural rights from a gender-equality perspective, in the planning, implementation and evaluation of all policies, programmes and measures intended to contribute to conflict prevention and resolution, peace building and post-conflict reconstruction. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 135 ANNEX DG G EN
