The Municipal Group Socialist councilor in the city of Lorca, Andrea Periago has informed the media that "the next day March 8 we celebrate the International Day of the Rights of Women, not only with festive dyes but assertive, now more than ever, we must fight to regain all the rights that during the last three years of Popular Party government, we have been taken away from women. "

The socialist mayor said that "governments of the Popular Party in the different administrations continue to use the economic crisis as an excuse to dismantle equality policies" as he says, "the reduction of economic items for equality has been a constant in the National Budget State in recent years. In particular, in recent years, the Popular Party has cut 33% overall and 22% budgets in the fight against gender violence ".

Andrea Periago noted that "in labor is where most obvious is the inequality between men and women, because as we have known in recent days, for a copper woman as a man, it should work 79 days than this, so the need, from the various administrations, is working to reduce wage inequality "is evident.

"However, the reality is that from the governments of the PP, have shown no willingness to cope with this problem that undermines equality between men and women in labor. So much so that during these years, no only have failed to reduce the wage inequality discussed, but have not intended active policies that facilitate entry into employment of women. For sample, noting recent employment data in Lorca, we see that unemployment among women is fully stalled as in January and February rose suffered no variation, "says Andrea Periago.

Nearly 6 in 10 unemployed are women

The Socialist councilor said that "at present, 56 percent of people who are unemployed in Lorca are women. That is, nearly 6 in 10 unemployed are women. Clear signal that Lorca is not being working to facilitate the incorporation of women into the workplace. So much so that even nor has implemented all of the budget of 600,000 euros, for the training and employment for women, provided for in Lorca + "Plan.

Andrea Periago laments that "the elimination of dependency law we see a great example of that attack women and their incorporation into the world of work. Women are the major affected by this deletion, since the majority of caregivers are women traded to social security and in other cases women who have to leave work to care for their dependents ".

The socialist mayor ends by stating that "ultimately, sometimes by their own crises and other political ideology we still have to continue fighting in the XXI century, of certain rights and freedoms that we thought made. Therefore, our commitment has been, is and will be a constant struggle to end inequality between men and women, for example, with the revival of the Equality Plans and awareness campaigns that go beyond the commemoration of March 8 or November 25 ".
