Although there are aspects of the general political view of the region to which we do not fully subscribe, we are in agreement with the importance given to the role of women and the need to guarantee equal rights and equal possibilities of participating in the labour market. These are indispensable for women’s economic independence, for national economic growth and for the fight against poverty, to which women are more vulnerable than men.
As is established in the report, women were disproportionately affected by cuts in social services and public spending such as health care, child and family care because, as it points out, these non-wage benefits and services which were previously provided enabled women to participate in paid employment and consequently to reconcile work and family life.
However, special measures are necessary now, aimed at preventing the feminisation of ‘lower paid’ sectors, including rural areas, the existence of the ‘gender pay gap’ and the need to create good quality, accessible and reasonably priced infrastructure for caring for children and the elderly. The importance of physically and psychologically rehabilitating women victims of the war stands out."@en1
