lpv:spoken text	"In gender equality, the widest gaps tend to be in the areas of ʽtimeʼ and ʽpowerʼ. We see this everyday – women are still under-represented in politics. While 36.9 % of MEPs are female, every day we see male dominated committees and meetings. In the UK, the Labour Party has pledged that half of the Cabinet will be female. Meanwhile, the Tory/Liberal Democrat front bench is a sea of suits and ties – vastly dominated by men. UKIP has announced that it intends to abolish the position of Minister for Women and Equalities and halve maternity pay if elected in May. We need to strive for gender equality right across Europe to tackle the many problems faced by women – equal pay, violence against women, the level of women on boards, etc. This report and the monitoring done by the European Institute for Gender Equality are invaluable – they point out to us the work that still needs to be done and how to tackle gender inequality."@en1
