"Madam President, in many societies, particularly those dominated by patriarchal or conservative models, single mothers have a very low status. Many regard single motherhood as a kind of temporary situation that will change once the single mother finds a partner and establishes a so-called traditional family. However, this distorted view complicates their position even further. We must therefore respond to this factor through policy adjustments. It is the responsibility of Member States to try and secure adequate living conditions for single mothers. The lives of these women, who usually suffer from pay differences anyway, are further complicated by a difficult financial situation. We need to adopt adequate public policies, including education policies, policies on the provision of care, health policies, policies in the area of employment and social welfare systems, and housing policies. These should alleviate the living conditions of single parent families, particularly in terms of the reality faced by single mothers."@en1
