lpv:translated text	"In 2005 in my report on the Lisbon Strategy from a gender perspective, I pointed to various forms of discrimination affecting European women. Two years later, after many discussions and good intentions, many debates and conferences, many reports and many studies, what has changed? What progress has been made as regards the wage gap between men and women, the participation of women in the decision-making process, or as regards the reconciliation of work, family and privates lives for both men and women? Although there has been progress in some Member States, regrettably little has changed at European level. The gender pay gap continues to average around 15% and the participation of women in decision-making has risen by only 1%. Women continue to devote three times as many hours to family responsibilities as men. Nevertheless, the number of women at universities is increasing. They are gradually asserting themselves but there are still many forms of discrimination, especially when they become mothers and precisely for that reason. Perhaps this is why birth rates are so low. Women migrants and refugees, women belonging to ethnic minorities, elderly women, women with disabilities, all these groups face dual discrimination. We need better laws, such as the equality laws that were approved in Spain and Portugal, but we also need compliance with existing laws, especially the laws on advertising so as to eliminate the degrading depiction of women in advertising and the mass media. We need to change the law in order to change attitudes. We need fewer words and more results."@en1
