".
All people are equal, but there are always people who have an interest in denying this. This leads to slavery, racism, colonial wars, child labour, subsistence wages for workers, underpayment for raw materials and the withholding of equal rights for women. In order to maintain their position, some privileged parties draw on quotes from the Bible or the Koran which are supposed to justify their misconduct. Only in the past few centuries have women in different European countries acquired the same rights as men, such as the right to vote, the right to work, rights to equal remuneration, access to managerial roles, the right to dissolve a failed marriage and equal rights of inheritance. There is still a rearguard of men who are opposed to this. New to us is the increase – through immigration – of the number of men originating from cultures who oppose gender equality. Some of them keep their daughters at home, marry them off and penalise them for looking for contact with boys independently. I fully endorse the proposal by the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities not to use family law from the countries of origin as a basis, not to support the States that discriminate against women and also to bring women who are persecuted on grounds of gender under the asylum law."@en1
