Tomaselli/Dziedzic: Self-determined life without the economic dependence of

Vienna (OTS) – The Green wish on the occasion of international women’s day living, equal opportunities, equality and freedom of choice. 52 percent of the population are female, but in the policy or in the top positions, you will be suspended from men. For the Deputy Federal spokesperson of the Greens, Nina Tomaselli, is very often to the lack of freedom of choice: „women need to decide often for or against your family or your career. This is unacceptable.“ Since women in society as children and family, responsible, self-determined life is often too short. Tomaselli: „We want real freedom for women. You will no longer have to decide. To do this, it needs a good and comprehensive child care. The only way the women can pursue their careers and secured good and not economically dependent.“ Because currently 80 per cent of the unpaid work of women to be done, while they earn about 20 percent less than men in Austria.

The spokeswoman of the Green women Austria, Ewa Dziedzic, the root of the continuing Poor status of women in the Parliament: „although There are more women than men in Austria, the laws are made in house but by a majority of men – 63 percent–. Since the focus is not set, may be so much on women’s policy and equality.“ Dziedzic is that women in the profession from the top can be kept away: There are 48 percent of Physicians, and only 12 percent of them are doctors Primary. These Figures underpin the still prevailing inequality and structural disadvantages of women – legal equality.

„It needs the same rights, which finally arrive in the company. We Green women prove daily work of the government’s responsibility to the parish councillors – that we are fighters for freedom and equal opportunities. We will continue to work with all the force at all levels for effective and forward-looking policy on women“, underline Tomaselli and Dziedzic in unison.
