"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wanted first and foremost to thank the rapporteur for having taken on board all – or most – of the points in the opinion of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, of which I am Vice-Chair.
Economic crises compromise efforts made towards gender equality: the employment rate among women falls ever lower and the gender pay gap grows ever wider. The contractual safeguards for many women and mothers are still precarious and the number of women in leadership positions and in the political, science and technology sectors is low. Adequate funding for EU programmes is necessary to reduce the gender pay gap and encourage access for women to highly skilled jobs.
An increase in the labour market participation of women would free an important amount of talent that has remained untapped for many years. In the opinion of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, we proposed uniform formats for women’s integration, and above all specific measures targeting vulnerable groups of women."@en1
