"I voted in favour of this report, which gives a fairly comprehensive overview of the position of women.
In short, despite the unquestionable advancements made to everyday life, in particular, by our mothers and our grandmothers, equality between women and men is far from being reached. It seems to actually be losing ground in view of the policies pursued by certain Member States in relation to social rights or the fight against discrimination based on sex, notably within the context of the budget cuts imposed by the economic crisis, of which women are often the first victims, both in terms of work and health.
I am pleased that the Members of the European Parliament are reaffirming their commitment to the right to abortion, to contraception and to longer maternity leave and calling for a debate on the means to fight against gender stereotypes, notably through a non gender-specific education and the promotion of equality between women and men from the youngest possible age."@en1
