"In spite of ubiquitous efforts and information campaigns, women continue to be poorer and discriminated against more frequently than men. Such situations occur even in our democratic European Union, which upholds human rights. Women earn less than men doing the same jobs and, in addition, they are more likely to be molested. They are more likely to be the ones who look after children and, as a result, do not have their own separate source of income or money which they could use for their own development or for a treat in reward for a hard day. The people who are bringing up future generations and educating the young people who, in the future, will govern us, provide us with medical treatment, build our bridges and look after us in hospital are not fairly paid. First and foremost, legislation should be amended to ensure free access to crèches and nursery schools and opportunities for young mothers to better themselves, and to make it impossible to dismiss women immediately after giving birth or returning from maternity leave. Women in rural areas are in the worst situation. They live in areas where incomes are much lower than the average for the EU, or even for the country they live in. They have no access to cultural services and goods. Their work is hard, and they do not always have the opportunity to take a holiday, for example. The terrifying spectre of the demographic crisis should mobilise us to take measures without delay in order to improve the situation of women on our continent."@en1
