lpv:translated text	"The report on the follow-up to the Beijing Action Platform notes that the situation of women, although improved, still involves major inequalities. In terms of work, it would appear vital to do more than just evaluate ‘the impact of part-time and atypical forms of working on […] the increase in poverty among women’. Women often actually do not have the option of choosing a properly paid full-time job, yet 85% would like one. Being forced into part-time work is clearly a source of poverty which is why we oppose this. The wage gap between men and women of around 30% still remains. On this issue, the report should have introduced coercive measures to eliminate this state of affairs. This would, of course, require a political will. Finally, over one thousand women’s associations in 140 countries are this year organising a world march to fight against continuing violence and to fight for equality. It is our duty to support them. We have therefore voted in favour of this report despite its limitations and we will demonstrate in Paris on 17 June together with all those who are fighting for equality and women’s rights."@en1
