00:00Now fast forward to 2024.
00:02Today, women are scientists, CEOs and soldiers.
00:06Women are football players and Nobel Prize winners.
00:10For the first time in our union's history,
00:12we have four women at the helm of the European Parliament,
00:16the European Commission, the European Central Bank
00:18and the European Investment Bank.
00:21And in the last five years, we've taken unprecedented action
00:24for women's rights in Europe.
00:26We have cast into law a basic principle.
00:30That equal work deserves equal pay.
00:32Because there is no single reason why a woman should be paid less than a man.
00:38We have unblocked legislation that was stuck for 10 years
00:41to get more women on boards of big European firms.
00:45Because there are so many qualified women who can reach the top.
00:50And we have pushed through the first ever European law
00:53to end violence against women.
00:55because there can be no equality without freedom from violence.
01:00But the path to full equality is still long.
01:04It requires attention and commitment every day
01:07from each and every one of us
01:09so that the next generation of women can finally get what they deserve.
01:14A world of equal rights and opportunities for all.
01:18Happy Women's Day.
01:20Happy Women's Day.
