"Madam President, today we are honouring the struggle by women through the ages and female achievements. We are recording the persistent democratic deficits which are currently being exacerbated by the economic crisis: poverty, trafficking, violence, unemployment, sexual exploitation, the pay divide, denigration in the media, the perpetuation of stereotypical roles and under-representation in the centres of power – all of which are feminine nouns – do most damage to single mothers, elderly women, female immigrants and disabled women.
We need coordinated action at European and national level: more effective employment and social protection policies to combat poverty, more measures to reconcile home life and work to support working women and pro-active measures and quotas for balanced representation in the centres of power. We need proper education and awareness-raising to stamp out violence and stereotypes. The road is long, but we must travel it, because women deserve better opportunities without prejudice."@en1
