"The report highlights some of the main reasons for discrimination between men and women, which are directly related to their economic and work situation. We do not agree with some of the measures advocated, such as the introduction of quota mechanisms for electoral, appointment and administrative bodies; the solutions that these provide for the problem of inequality between men and women can only be artificial. The report does, however, propose positive measures that promote economic equality and equality in working conditions between men and women.
Unfortunately, if the so-called ‘austerity’ measures advocated by the European institutions – the majority in this Parliament, in particular – are continued, they will lead to enormous steps backwards in terms of equality between men and women: the even further weakening of labour relations, with the watering down of the principle of collective bargaining; higher rates of unemployment; increasingly precarious jobs, which particularly affects women already; and a reduction in the public child care network, which is essential to alleviating the excessive burden that falls on women.
Firmly rejecting so-called ‘austerity’ measures is a precondition for defending equality between men and women and defending workers’ rights."@en1
