"Madam President, single mothers have a hard life. They sacrifice themselves for their children and they are at a high risk of poverty. I therefore support efforts to improve the position of women who remain alone with their children following family break-ups. We now know that it costs the state more when mothers raise children alone. We should therefore devote more attention to the causes of family break-up. Many marriage crises come about as a result of the bad economic situation. If we focused more on supporting families, many of these women would never be left alone with their children. The Commission and this Parliament would first have to acknowledge, however, that a woman is not just a unit of labour, that a family is not just a small group of people living together, and that marriage is not just a formal declaration of love. They would have to understand that it is not by chance that we are talking about single mothers this evening, and not single fathers, for all of the proclaimed equality between women and men."@en1
