"The concept of the family unit is changing fast, reflecting the changes in our societies. Single mothers make up five per cent of all women in Europe and 85% of these mothers are aged between 25 and 64. These women, who are often in a fragile situation, must receive special attention from our governments, as they are faced with the same challenges as those of a two-parent family unit, like education, training, employment and so on. This accumulation of issues is not without repercussions for the children. Now, the latter should enjoy the same opportunities in education and access to employment as the children of two-parent families. It is up to the EU, which wishes to ensure compliance with the values of equality, democracy and freedom, to make the Member States who have yet to adapt their economic and social policies aware of these new models of the family. Both the ‘single mother’ and the ‘single father’ suffer prejudice in certain countries and regions in the EU. The fact is that the right to be different is a founding expression of human rights. Any minority, regardless of the nature of that which makes it a minority, must enjoy identical rights."@en1
