"Mr President, firstly I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on the apt approach she took when drafting this report on equality between men and women.
As rapporteur for the Cultural Committee I would like to highlight the main contributions our committee made, which were obviously related to areas within our purview such as education, culture, sport and communication.
First, we proposed promoting equal behaviour in schools, and removing the gender stereotypes which are still too widespread in some media; taking measures to change the segregation of labour in the different stages of the schools system so that there is equal involvement of teachers of both sexes at each stage; eliminating any discrimination in terms of salary on grounds of sex in the fields of education, culture and sport and communication; and encouraging greater participation by women in the management bodies of those sectors where women are in the minority.
As the rapporteur has already said, there is still a long way to go. I am reminded of a couple of lines by Machado, who said, ‘Traveller, there is no way ahead, you make your way by walking’ because, my friends, we will achieve equality even as we fight for it."@en1
