Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Points out that women all over the world are working and fighting for the dignity of their status and for equal rights; urges the Commission and Parliament to recognise that women perform social roles central to their own development and social well-being, and that equality between women and men determines a people’s level of economic and political development; and calls on them, proceeding from that recognition, to give priority to gender issues by making these a core aim of all EU activities and programmes; notes that women are unquestionably entitled to full citizenship, which has to go hand in hand with the right to work, are undeniably investing great efforts in the areas of schooling and the acquisition of skills, and have also shown themselves to be fit to hold public and political office; warns, however, those facts notwithstanding, that inequalities between men and women have in reality been increasing, for instance in terms of entitlement to jobs with rights, and that the principle of equal pay for equal work, along with other principles, is continuing to be challenged;
