"Mr President, it is our obligation to work for human rights and democracy, as they are the Union’s founding values that we promote on a universal level. These include equality and non-discrimination, which are recognised as vital in this initiative.
I am glad that the need to promote women’s participation in decision-making at all levels has been included in the public and the private sector alike, with equal representation of men and women in all decision-making processes on issues of governance, cooperation and humanitarian aid, foreign delegations, political candidature, the protection of women and girls, and global trade.
To conclude, I began a speech of mine yesterday by saying that, in the Union, we need to move from ‘words to facts’. I hope that we can also manage to demonstrate with this initiative that the European Union is involved in the democratisation of the country and as such will work for equality. If it does not do so, we will not be working for true democracy for the 50% of the population – women –who are watching carefully what we say but, above all, what we do."@en1
