"The EU is confronted by important social changes which have been brought about by problems related to migration, social security and poverty.
The programmes developed at EU level have made an important contribution to the improvement of the condition of women in rural areas. Nevertheless, women are not involved in decision making in the communities to which they belong.
A concrete and worrying example, is that most women in the rural areas in Romania have an income below 5 EURO/day, and a third do not use any media.
I would cite as as a priority three action fields in order to obtain equal opportunities and to improve the condition of the women in the rural area:
improvement of social status by supporting the access of women to new income and goods acquisition opportunities;
full involvement of women in the decision-making process and enhanced capacity to change/influence the decisions that affect them directly;
access of the women in rural areas to essential services (health, education) and infrastructure.
The Member States should prepare public policies to encourage the participation of women in the labour market, in the decision-making process, and should control any forms of discrimination."@en1
