"I would like to congratulate the Rapporteur and emphasize the importance of the content of this report for the achievement of the economic growth objectives undertaken in the context of the Lisbon Strategy.
Both the European Union and the Member States should provide a better model for society. Despite the progress achieved, inequality between men and women persists and this is why we have to take action.
I would like to draw attention to a problem that very many women are dealing with every day and in relation to which very few of them receive a favourable sentence, namely sexual harassment.
According to a national study conducted in Romania, in 90% of the cases, the victims of sexual harassment were women and 1 out of 9 people in the urban environment have dealt with a sexual harassment situation. In over 55% of the cases, the aggressor was the victim’s professional superior.
I think a reassessment of the strategies and actions in this field is required in order to increase women’s living and professional standards and Member States should accelerate the enforcement of Community legislation on equality between women and men with regard to the labour market, including as regards sexual harassment."@en1
