"Mr President, it is right and proper that the submitted report sets out to improve the position of women in rural areas. Unfortunately, however, it views women only as workers or entrepreneurs. It does not see women in the role of mothers, nor the value of the informal and therefore unpaid work of women. However, the work of women at home and caring for dependent family members also makes a significant contribution to the wellbeing of society.
This work accounts for up to one third of GDP in European countries, and yet we always pretend it does not exist. Instead of clearly acknowledging this asset, we put pressure on women to get jobs and go into business. At the same time, it is precisely in agriculture and rural areas that valuing the work of women would improve the quality of life for families and communities."@en1
