The people need to stand up and say we will take action.

I welcome this debate, even though it is three years late. We need to see action being taken. We are in the hands of the Minister of State, but I have great faith in her. She is new and refreshing and has an aspiration and the courage of her convictions to do something. We have to change our laws on the trafficking of women, immigration, prostitution to criminalisethe user, domestic violence, women in politics, women in business, Traveller women, men in the family law system and all the other equality issues involved.
