"This report aims to contribute to speeding up the process of creating conditions of equality between men and women in the European Union. On this day, when we are celebrating the centenary of International Women’s Day, I should like to salute all the women who have struggled for acknowledgment of women’s rights and for gender equality over the last 100 years. I would also express my solidarity for all women victims of violence, and for all those who have recently been fighting in the Middle East and North Africa for the self-determination of their peoples. The EU has always been at the forefront of the defence of women’s rights, so I welcome the adoption of this report that aims to put an end to many of the discrepancies that still persist, such as wage differences, access to education and employment, difficulties in reconciling personal and professional life, and distance from decision-making positions. I therefore hope that the EU will move from theory to practice, and will make it possible for women to show their worth."@en1
