"Madam President, on this International Women’s Day, it is worth examining how equality is actually implemented in Europe. We share a new concern, and that is the feminisation of poverty. Although women do more work than men, men earn higher levels of pay and still receive bigger pensions. It is wrong that men are becoming richer and women poorer. That is very true of older women in particular, and that is why they should be helped in every possible way.
Ageing and growing old, especially with regard to women, should not be a burden. It should not be regarded as a liability, but something that enriches society and Europe and is a resource. The future of the world and Europe will mainly depend on women, and mothers in particular. Obviously, it is good that the sons and husbands of mothers, Mr Bloom and myself, have something meaningful to do other than go to war. My congratulations."@en1
