"I voted in favour of this text. This report proposes several measures for combating poverty among women in the European Union. I support many of them, such as encouraging the introduction of flexible working hours for women or narrowing the gender pay gap for the same work carried out. Women are in a difficult situation. They must look after the home, their children and husband, while working at the same time. Women are very often victims of discrimination in the workplace or of violence, major problems which are still widespread across the EU. The reality is really awful, especially in rural areas and for Roma women. In these circumstances, the Structural Funds must be used to set up programmes which will improve women’s chances of entering the labour market. This action must be backed up by increasing access to micro-finance, as well as by encouraging and developing women’s entrepreneurial skills."@en1
