"Even though female poverty is a long-standing fact of life, the economic, financial and social crisis has greatly exacerbated this situation and we are witnessing the feminisation of poverty. Poverty is one area where gaps between men and women remain. The participation of women in the labour market is one means of combating poverty and social exclusion. Furthermore, it should be noted that we must, at the same time, encourage equal pay, equal access to positions of responsibility and also the granting of personal rights to pensions and social security. Violence against women, including human trafficking and sexual exploitation, is a serious problem that must be eradicated by any means available to us.
This type of violence is all too often one of the causes of female poverty, after health problems and job loss. We must maintain, both at European and at national level, a strong commitment to gender equality and to fighting social exclusion by specific and lasting measures supported by adequate financial resources."@en1
