NEOS: women’s day is not a political flash in the pan may be

Claudia Gamon: „It is self-reliance for women needs, instead of depending on a Partner or the state.“

Vienna (OTS) – this year, revealed on International women’s day, what are the challenges for the Austrian women’s politics. „Decades of neglect could not be in a day. The black-blue government would be well-advised the motivation boost that comes around the women’s day, to take, to put sustainable measures,“ calls for NEOS-wife spokeswoman Claudia Gamon. „It needs the legal framework to enable women to lead independent and self-determined life and not to be more of a Partner, or state-dependent,“ says Gamon. The world women’s day have also lost in the year 2019 none of its relevance. Childcare, part-time work and poverty in old age in Austria is still a woman’s thing.

Equivalent distribution of waiting times required

Just in the area of childcare and maternity leave is still a lot to do, Gamon: „It needs a legal right to a childcare place from the first birthday of the child. The only way women can participate on an equal footing in the labour market,“ says Gamon. In addition, the paternity leave should be made more attractive. „After all, fathers of the Children are not quite uninvolved and often want to take on more responsibility.“ To do this, there is a need for an equal sharing of parental leave periods to mothers and fathers, calls Gamon: „Both partners should have the possibility to choose the right children’s money variant. This requires individual parental leave entitlements for fathers and mothers up to 18 months – including ways to Overlap. So that we can create more freedom of choice, flexibility, and face the fear of the loss of income. The progressive policies on women and families.“
