"Mr President, a short while ago we debated the report on gender equality. However, I wish to emphasise that, although we talked about improving the position of women, in Greece things are in reverse. The ‘equal pay for equal work’ slogan seems a far cry from reality and unemployment is now at unprecedented levels among both sexes, although the impact of the crisis is worse for women. Social infrastructures, which are already weak in Greece, are constantly being eroded, but this mainly affects women, because the two sexes have different starting points. In the past, unemployment was higher among women than among men, but now it has doubled.
Women were working under deregulated working conditions well before they were officially adopted. Pay cuts have hit women harder, given that they are already on low wages, and the differential has now reached 20%.
In order to address the problems of the Greek crisis, we need to at least offset losses of income with targeted measures to improve social infrastructures and social cohesion, if we want to carry on talking about gender equality.
This is something that needs to be taken into account in all measures and policies."@en1
