"I am following the Roma issue very closely because I live in Eastern Slovakia, where there is a Roma majority. I support the draft resolution concerning the strategy on Roma inclusion.
Today, on 8 March, we celebrate 100 years of defending women’s rights. We are also debating discrimination against women today, and when debating this strategy, it is therefore also necessary to talk about discrimination against women from minority groups in particular. The Roma are among the most disadvantaged population groups throughout Europe. I have read the statement of Mrs Járóka: ‘Poverty threatens the new generation – not on account of their Roma origins, but on account of their parents’ unemployment’. I would like to add that this is also on account of social exclusion. Unemployment will continue, particularly for the Roma population, but we know how to integrate Roma into cultural activities and into civic life immediately.
The gender equality problem is worse in minority groups. In relation to Roma inclusion, we must therefore not forget dialogue with Roma women, who have a greater emotional influence on their children and on the future generation."@en1
