"When pointing out a historic date associated with women’s struggle for their rights, the series of social problems faced by women cannot be ignored, particularly those of working women: worsening unemployment and insecure jobs linked to low wages, the pay gap, and discrimination based on motherhood. Situations of loss of income are on the increase and women are getting poorer. The situations of disabled, immigrant, unemployed and retired women, and of low paid women workers, are particularly critical.
The impact of austerity measures in some countries, such as Portugal, Greece and Ireland, is having repercussions on the lives of women as workers, citizens and mothers. That is the case with wage reductions, the freezing of admissions to university courses, and the blocking of collective bargaining; and with the cuts to healthcare, education, social security and a variety of forms of social support. Detailed words and declarations of good intentions regarding the day being pointed out today are not enough. What is needed is a real change in the content of the policies from which this situation originates."@en1
