"Even though the European Union has been working for years to combat discrimination between men and women, and regardless of the cultural progress that has been made, gender equality is far from being achieved for various reasons, one of which is economic. We therefore need to drive improvements in the working status of women. Efforts to improve labour market participation, and access to positions of power such as company boards, need to stay high on the agenda. The gap between the position and status of women and men in some countries outside Europe is often dramatic. Women have fewer rights or no rights at all. Through this vote, the EU commits to doing much more to improve the situation of these women, starting with their health. Not only sufficient funds are needed, but a radical change in mentality and tradition."@en1
