".
Mr President, I wish to thank the rapporteur for her tremendous work on this report. It comes at a very appropriate time, as we are entering discussions on the reform of the European social model and on engendering greater support for the Lisbon Strategy. Ultimately, all these policies – whether economic or social – must be human-based.
The figures and statistics show us that in the Member States of the European Union poverty has more impact on women than on any other section of society. Because of their unique role within our societies – they are the main childminders and the main rearers of children – there is an ongoing difficulty for children being trapped in poverty as well. Rather than drawing up more reports, let us talk to the women who are suffering from poverty; let us hear what
need in order to come out of poverty and where
find the difficulties.
Let us not forget the words of Nelson Mandela, who said that overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of the fundamental human right to a decent life and to freedom."@en1
