Green NÖ to the International women’s day

Silvia Moser: For more justice in income, the reconciliation of work, family, and care for woman and man

St. Pölten (OTS) – The international women’s day, 8. March calls on us annually to consider the status of women’s policy and the Situation of women. Almost exactly 100 years ago, on 4.3.1919 the first 8 women moved into the Austrian Parliament, a prerequisite for women’s right to vote, decided in 1918.

There are important milestones to equality: right to work, education and free choice of partners, period of time solution and equal treatment of the law followed in the next decades. Dedicated, strong women were and are the Basis for successful women’s policy. Because the path to equality is still long. Income gap, part-time issues, unpaid work, violence against women, under-representation in policy, oversight councils, social partners, and poverty are some of the keywords are case.

In addition, we are faced with the Situation that the government is taking a shift to the right, including a new conservatism, which we vehemently opposed. Green politics has, for decades for women’s rights. Equity in the income, the reconciliation of work, family, and care for a woman and a man, the statutory minimum wage to living wages, to have better coverage of the Care part-time care leave, quota regulations in politics and the economy, the right to claim for children betreuungsplätz are some of the important claims. We stay tuned!
