lpv:translated text	"The role women play in political decision making is crucial to the very quality of democracy. However, there is still a long way to go before this goal is achieved, since the lack of financial resources, the predominantly male culture of politics, stereotypes and the difficulty of balancing family life with political life constitute serious obstacles. As such, there is a need to pursue affirmative action in this area, specifically by adopting special temporary measures intended to speed up the establishment of genuine equality between men and women, in order that the proportion of political posts occupied by women might be similar to that in Scandinavian countries. As such, the Member States and the political parties themselves should create an environment that encourages women’s involvement in the world of politics, both through education and through funding general public awareness campaigns on gender issues, and the elimination of gender stereotypes and of preconceptions about women."@en1
