"Women’s working lives and their career paths are often hampered by the stereotype of women as weaker, less resistant to stress and likely to become pregnant at any moment, and who, as a result, might take sick leave and other kinds of leave more often than men. This also makes it more difficult for women to find work, and those who do have work are paid less than men who do the same jobs. The economic crisis has exacerbated these problems and shown the extent to which women are being exploited in the labour market. Short-term job contracts and part-time contracts with unpaid overtime are just some examples of practices which I consider unacceptable. Therefore, it is essential to draw attention to the need to comply with labour law on an equal basis for all employees. We should fight the way in which the difficult position people find themselves in is being exploited to force them to work in unscrupulous and unhealthy conditions – especially if we are talking about women who also have to fight against stereotypes."@en1
