"From halfway through the last century, modern societies have seen increased emancipation of women, essentially through an increase in their level of education, which has quickly outstripped that of men. In fact, 60% of university graduates are now women. It used to be said that a woman’s place was in the home; there are now many professions in which they are in the majority, for example, the service sector. In the EU, 69.4% of all jobs in this sector are occupied by women; this figure is as low as 5.2% for agriculture. Despite the trend at EU level towards the employment rates for men and women to move closer together, the truth is that many women still experience discrimination from their employers due to motherhood. That is why they mainly work flexible or part-time hours, which results in a wage disparity between the two genders. It is therefore crucial to eradicate gender inequality, so as to prevent any form of violence against women that affects all social, cultural and economic strata, since sexual harassment and abuse predominate in the service sector."@en1
