"Even though the issue of gender equality is discussed in ever more depth and ever more frequently each year and efforts are made and action is taken to change the situation of women in the European Union, traditional gender roles, taboos and stereotypes still ensure, to a great extent, that visible and far-reaching changes are impossible. In areas such as the economy and politics, men still hold the highest positions. It should therefore be stressed that equality between women and men is very important in order to achieve sustainable economic growth, employment, competitiveness and social cohesion. I would like to express my support for the reduction of gender-based wage differences, for an increase in the role of women in decision-making processes at all levels, and for the fight against gender-based discrimination and violence. I also believe that we should pay more attention to countries outside the European Union, where women have fewer or no rights. In connection with the above, I support the European Parliament’s resolution on equality between women and men in the European Union and voted for it."@en1
