Well dear colleagues, the next point on the agenda is a public hearing on "Women in Judiciary: Challenges and Opportunities".  This event has been organised in the framework of European Gender Equality Week, coordinated by FEMM Committee, which I thank for their support to this very important initiative.  I welcome our guest speakers who are connected with us remotely today.  We have Ms María José Costeira, Judge and Vice-President of the General Court of the European Union; Ms Gabriela Bravo, prosecutor at the Valencia Provincial Prosecutor's Office; Ms Lygia Nóbrega, senior expert from European Institute for Gender Equality.  Thank you for joining us today from different parts of Europe, obviously. 

We look forward to hearing your valuable perspectives in the discussion ahead. 

As an introduction, let us start with short video message from President of the European Parliament, Ms. Roberta Metsola, with her message on Gender Equality Week.

Europe moves forward when people decide to step up and take the lead.  As President, I see this in action every day.  I have met incredible women leaders throughout our society and across our continent who are blazing trails, building success stories, and changing our societies.  But these brave women are still too often held back by pressures that male leaders rarely face, from pay disparities and invisible labor to outdated stereotypes and online abuse.  In this House, we are taking steps to smash these glass ceilings and make the path to leadership more accessible, including making space on corporate boards and closing employment, pay, and pension gaps.
