"The negative effects felt throughout the European Union from the economic and financial crisis have hit women especially hard. Single motherhood in particular is often overlooked and simplified. In many societies, particularly those dominated by patriarchal models, single mothers are held in very low regard. Many view single motherhood as a kind of temporary situation that will change once the single mother finds a partner. However, this distorted view complicates the position of single mothers in society even further. We must therefore respond to this factor through policy adjustments. The situation has grown more serious in recent years, and it is therefore necessary to address this problem as a matter of priority, and devote greater attention to the situation of single mothers. I firmly believe that Member States should also adopt public policies, including pay policies, care provision, health policies, policies in the area of employment, social security systems and policies in the area of housing, that will alleviate the living conditions of single-parent families, particularly in light of the reality faced by single mother families."@en1
