"I believe that it is significant that so many people are interested in talking about these issues. The Commission should understand that as a need to find an answer to these problems, because gender inequality is particularly severe among older women, whether because of the low incomes of most women or because of difficulties in accessing quality public services, and health services in particular.
Wage discrimination in employment and discrimination in maternity are directly reflected in the majority of older women’s pensions. The result is that these pensions are low, which contributes to the very high risk of poverty among older women. All women have the right to grow old with dignity, so in the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, particular attention must be paid to older women in order for their dignity as women and as citizens to be respected."@en1
