The equality cannot wait

We celebrate the International Day of the Woman inside a persistent and serious economic crisis, where the incapability of the Government to catch it is giving place to measurements that attack straight the society of the called well-being and the social conquests of the hard-working class, with more and more aggressive neoliberal politics.
In this context the consequences are even major for the women due to the historical inequality that already of for themselves crawl. It is for it that the equality cannot wait, only with the effective and real equality the women we will be able to overcome the conditions that are imposing on us.
There is especially excellent the spurious rentabilización of the Government of the Spanish socialist party, in his semester of presidency of the European Union. Using laws as that of Equality, violence or that of voluntary interruption of the pregnancy, to silence the economic disaster and the absence of social advances; and to give an image of European patrol in equality politics, that enough of the reality is distant, not only for the plain contents and for his disappointing application, but for his clear lack of interest for this politics, as well it shows the ridiculous economic allocation in the general Budgets of the State.
The Federal Area of the Woman of IU denounces in this March 8 the passivity on the part of the government who definitely whom it is harming more is to the women. The proposals concerning the Agreements of Toledo, indicate that the economically more depressed sectors, they are going to suffer with hardness the effects of a crisis generated by the big capital. Between them the women we are straight indicated by the reform of the pensions, the wage clippings, the price reduction of the dismissals... since we are we that from the beginning we have worse labor conditions.
The last information offered by the INI does not leave doubt: of 2.470.700 part-time works of last trimester 1.917.800 are occupied by women (101.800 more than three months ago) and the feminine unemployment valuation is in 19,07 %. The measurements that the government of the Spanish socialist party adopts, are directed to keep on promoting exclusively the real estate industry, the brick and the town-planning speculation, leaving aside the investment in infrastructures and public services.
With this politics, not only it keeps on promoting the unemployment in other productive sectors, but also, it is left to the women in a situation of major instability that earlier. The government of the Spanish socialist party has begun in the negligence up to its own labor commitments acquired in the effective law of equality.
IU demands from the Government:
  • That the local investment fund for the employment is accompanied of the obligatory report of impact of genre that guarantees the women's employment in socially necessary labor initiatives.
  • That in the public Investment give priority to investments and infrastructures of public service, without limiting itself to sectors eminently masculinized like the construction, the asphalt and the motorcar.
  • That is finished once and for all with the wage differences between men and women in jobs of equal value.
  • That is included obligatorily in the public contracts, real measurements of equality in the hiring and in the employment.
  • That puts under an obligation to the public and private enterprises to which they have Plans of Equality.
  • That recognizes the economic contribution of the women after himself in the works not considered like productive (upbringing, care, domestic tasks, etc.)
  • That there assigns to himself 5 % of the whole of the Budget to politics “woman“ specific and transverse. In this March 8 we call to the mobilizations that from the women's movement, are realized in favor of the effective equality of the women.

For the rights of the women!
The equality cannot wait
The exit to the crisis with lefts politics is possible
