"I voted in favour of the Thomsen report, which tackles the issue of precarious women workers, as I am concerned about women being particularly hit by the consequences of the economic crisis. The crisis has had a greater impact on precarious jobs, which are largely done by women. I support this motion for a resolution because we need to go further in combating direct and indirect discrimination on the grounds of gender. There is currently an excessive proportion of women in precarious jobs, and they often have to combine those jobs with domestic responsibilities. My support is based on my commitment to changing the current unfair situation in which women have fewer opportunities to access employment, the majority of them are in more precarious jobs, and they continue to earn less than men for doing the same job. For all these reasons, I am voting in favour of this motion for a resolution, which, among other points, highlights the need to ensure gender equality and to reduce segregation on the basis of gender in the labour market, and asks the Member States to combat undeclared work so that it becomes formal employment."@en1
