"In the business world, those running their own companies are often far more dedicated than employees, and put in longer hours, making personal sacrifices to succeed against the competition. For female entrepreneurs, the stakes can be even higher as they may have to overcome discrimination in what has traditionally been a male environment. Many have to juggle their own aspirations to succeed alongside their commitment to their family. Even though we live in the 21st century, the woman is still very much in the forefront in the home, especially where she is a mother. It is important to recognise women’s abilities in the workplace and to strengthen their position. This will not only encourage women to move into the business world, but will also ensure they move on to an even playing field where there is no room for gender discrimination. EU Member States differ in both their approach to women looking towards running their own businesses and the support given.
Member States have each taken on different approaches to supporting and promoting women in decision making and in the boardroom. The problems faced by women vary from nation to nation. Appropriate support implemented at local, regional and national levels and through different media, however, can, in my opinion, help to promote the involvement of women in work."@en1
