"Mr President, let us speak frankly. It is no coincidence that the majority of the victims of climate-related disasters are women. It has to do with vulnerability. Moreover, it is precisely that vulnerability that reflects a structural problem, structural patriarchy, a problem on which this Parliament has heard some very clear and very worrying exponents.
The proposals made by the Kiil-Nielsen report simply represent common sense in today’s world, they constitute basic needs, and they present a fundamental challenge, as follows: 1) increasing the training and empowerment of women in decision making, in all areas; 2) turning victims into actors. This is what the report is asking for, that we move to a position where we invest more in training, in protection and in preparation; 3) incorporating gender issues in policies to combat climate change in a very clear way. Common sense, pure and simple.
The reactions that we have heard from some MEPs simply take us back two or three centuries into the past."@en1
