In Citizens we work day by day for real equality between women and men, and we believe that it is achieved with public policies that correct the structural problems that cause inequality and not with slogans: the labor market, conciliation, nursery schools among the 0 and 3 years or the impossibility of forming a family without affecting the professional career.
The spokesman of the municipal group, Antonio Meca, understands that feminism "has to be plural and open to all women so as not to exclude anyone in a struggle that affects us all." No one can claim the right to distribute feminist cards or patrimonialize The fight for equality".
Thanks to Cs, today parents enjoy 2 more weeks of paternity leave, autonomous mothers have more help and a National Pact against Gender Violence has been signed.
"But it is necessary to advance more, and above all to correct the intolerable duality of our labor market, which today is the most precarious in Europe, and ensure decent and stable contracts to obtain security and solvency in the future, avoiding precariousness and instability ", added Meca.
In the City Council of Lorca, Ciudadanos already presented a motion in November 2017 on single-parent families, mostly made up of mothers with children, so that they can benefit from the IBI bonus enjoyed by large families.
In January 2017, a motion was also submitted on the city's accession to the European Charter for the equality of men and women in local life.
A month later, a motion was put on the table for the creation of the Sectorial Council for Women and in June another for the promotion of local equality plans and for the reconciliation of personal, family and work life.
