"On this day linked to the struggle of women for recognition and the exercising of their rights, what is striking is the worsening unemployment situation and the number of unstable jobs, along with low wages and discrimination in terms of wages and motherhood that assail women workers. These take on expressions that are particularly shocking and unacceptable in the younger generations, as is happening in Portugal. The consequences are increased poverty amongst women. The situations of disabled, immigrant and retired women, and of low paid women workers, are particularly critical, as well as those of women in rural communities who live alone with their children. The majority of the more than 85 million people living in poverty in the European Union are women. The poverty rate amongst women has exceeded 18%. Preventing the taking, under the pretext of the crisis, of measures threatening women’s right to equality, and to the necessary economic and social cohesion, is therefore a crucial issue. It is time to prioritise women and their rights, equality, and economic and social cohesion, so that we can have a better society and so that we can truly respect human rights and consolidate the progress that women have helped to build for our civilisation."@en1
