"Madam President, the situation remains desperate for single mothers in Europe. A huge number of single mothers face fundamental problems such as poverty, social exclusion, unemployment, poor health and so on. These mothers have to struggle against discrimination in the workplace, in educational establishments and elsewhere. We must therefore create financial support programmes for them in relation to, for example, their education, the education of their children, return to school, career development, health care, child care and advice, as well as encouraging businesses to employ single mothers, for example, through tax breaks. We must also try to find funding for the existing rescue and assistance centres for abandoned women with children, which are full of volunteers willing to help those in need, but sadly lack sufficient funding. We must also, of course, not forget about awareness raising, the education of young women and prevention. Educating and informing young women about their sexual and reproductive rights and wellbeing, as well as, for example, methods of protection, is surely an effective form of prevention.
I would like to end with one statement: it concerns me that, sadly, not one man has spoken yet in this debate."@en1
