"Madam President, I would like to express my acknowledgement and gratitude to all the women, many of whom are well known and written about, but many others of whom are anonymous, who have worked and fought these last 100 years to achieve the standard of equality we now have.
However, there still remains much to be done, and these reports bring us to issues such as the reconciliation of family and work life, difficulties in accessing the labour market or the fight against gender-based violence, which is one of the main scourges that exists in Europe and worldwide. Equality between men and women is still not a reality. Therefore, we must now begin a new phase which sees commitments become realities.
From the European institutions and from the rest of European society we have to aim to make progress toward achieving true equality between men and women. Such equality could provide the opportunity to achieve a more just and equal society and, on that road, men are essential. Much remains to be done and we will see it through together."@en1
