"Madam President, the situation of women in agriculture and the rural sphere reflects and is being damaged by the deep crisis into which current policies, such as the common agricultural policy (CAP) and others, have plunged rural areas. Women represent 42% of agricultural workers in all countries of the European Union. The great majority of these women work on family farms. They are thus particularly affected by the closure of hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized farms and by the process of destruction of family farming that has resulted from successive CAP reforms. They are also, as in other areas of activity, hit particularly hard by unemployment, insecure jobs, low wages and poverty. All of this is exacerbated by the antisocial policies imposed under the pretext of the crisis.
Fine words and declarations of good intentions are therefore not enough. A break with these policies is required, ascribing value to the roles of women, to their rights and to equality, and ascribing value to and strengthening, among other things, the network of services relating to rural resources, health, education and family assistance. It is also necessary to make cultural and leisure activities available, and to combat the various asymmetries and desertification."@en1
