"It is not enough to condemn the serious poverty in which many tens of millions of women in the 25 EU Member States live. It is not enough to note that the poverty and social exclusion in which more than 72 million people live in the EU is a violation of human rights and mainly affects women.
What is needed is a radical shake-up of the economic and social policies exacerbating unemployment, poverty and social exclusion and increasing inequality in the distribution of wealth. It is high time we made a clean break from neoliberal policies and the guidelines of the European Central Bank.
The Stability and Growth Pact must be replaced with a growth and employment pact. Additionally, an economic and social development strategy must be developed whereby we put a stop to the privatisation of public services and social security, and whereby people receive an income providing social welfare and access to public health systems, including, of course, healthcare and all of the care that women need. This is the only way in which people can have high-quality jobs with rights and decent wages, and in which women can enjoy all of the human rights to which they are entitled."@en1
