lpv:translated text	"The principle of gender equality is not being pursued effectively. According to Spanish Member Mrs Valenciano, cows are better protected in the EU than women. We suffer discrimination in every area of life. We earn 18% less than men, we are more often unemployed and we are underrepresented in politics, public life and business. Most lamentable of all is the fact that women cannot benefit fully even from fundamental rights. In relation to women, the right to life and personal integrity, as well as reproductive rights, are violated significantly more often. For example, in Poland, the restriction of human rights is tolerated in relation to women. In 1997, the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, in justifying rejection of liberalisation of the right to abortion, considered it obvious that a pregnant woman must be deprived of some of her civil rights. Not only did this not end his career, but it strengthened his position as a ‘moral authority’. The gender question must find significant reflection in the Union budget. The economic crisis must not be the cause of restrictions on measures for equality between men and women. Only a consistent, long-term political strategy can bring results. Just promoting equal treatment of the sexes and passing anti-discrimination laws is not enough. Legislation does not automatically generate equality. What is needed is work from the bottom up, building the social awareness and solidarity of women. Improving the situation of women requires a fight against stereotypes and discriminatory practices and the elimination of male chauvinists from public life."@en1
