The Socialists begin the last week of the campaign with nods to the women’s vote
It goes from bo The expression for the pilota games is currently used for the electoral campaign. The final stretch begins, the decisive week, with the polls showing a situation of tie between blocks. And to unbalance it, the socialists face these last days trying to ensure one of the electorates in which those with the fist and the rose have the best performance: women.
The ‘president’ of the Generalitat and PSPV candidate for a third term, Ximo Puig, has presented this Monday the measures that the socialists propose in terms of equality between men and women and of which the proposal to equate, through complementary aid, the non-contributory pensions currently received by more than 23,000 women in the Valencian Community stands out. to minimum pensions.
In this sense, Puig has stressed that this will mean “acknowledging the invisible work” that housewives have done who, by not contributing, as is the case with women who worked in precarious jobs, do not have a minimum pension. In fact, as the Socialists explain, three out of four non-contributory pensions in the Valencian Community are collected by women, showing this higher level of vulnerability.
The non-contributory pension is an average of 480 euros per month while the minimum pension is 743 euros. The objective of the measure is for the Generalitat to cover this gap with extra help for these women. What those of the fist and the rose could not specify is how much the financial outlay would entail to achieve this equalization, since they indicated that “it is very difficult to calculate” because there are many variations between the different non-contributory pensions, but that it would be “assumable “.
Support for female entrepreneurship
Likewise, the leader of the Valencian socialists has advanced that the PSPV will support women’s entrepreneurship through the creation of a new IVF fund “the Lidera Fund endowed with 75 million euros and which is specifically aimed at supporting women women entrepreneurs and an entrepreneurship office to accompany and advise them& rdquor;, in addition, in rural areas, “we will promote a plan to create local service cooperatives led by women& rdquor;.
On the other hand, with regard to the reconciliation Ximo Puig He has insisted that “in the next legislature, families with two children will be considered numerous throughout the Valencian Community& rdquor; and has announced that “we will promote the Family Law that will establish a catalog of positive discrimination bonuses and we will create an observatory that will x-ray the priorities and design specific policies& rdquor ;.
With this, the president has listed “five measures that will make us move towards effective conciliation & rdquor; Among which stands out free education from 0 to 2 years, subsidies for extracurricular activities, the creation of a rural nursery service as well as promoting a Vacances-Respir Voucher so that women who support dependent people have the opportunity to rest .
Fight Against Sexist Violence
Regarding the third axis of the Government’s program on Equality, the PSPV-PSOE proposes measures to fight against marchist violence, among which stands out “strengthening the network of courts specialized in violence against women and promoting training with a gender perspective in the professionals who work with women and child victims& rdquor ;. “We must advance in sensitivity and skills,” he stressed Ximo Puig.
In this sense, the president recalled that “you cannot look away from the extreme inequality that prostitution entails, we must continue working to abolish it& rdquor; and he has indicated that “we want to be the first autonomy free from this slavery & rdquor ;. Thus he has announced that in the Valencian Community the victims of prostitution recognized as victims of sexist violence and will have an economic benefit & rdquor; and he has advanced that “we will reform the Highway Law and public shows to punish the consumption of prostitution and prohibit its advertising & rdquor ;: “All the money collected with the sanctions will be used to increase resources for the victims & rdquor;
Finally, Ximo Puig has opted for “fighting machismo from the base & rdquor; and has advanced that “we will implement agents in educational centers and we will pay special attention to the consumption of pornography & rdquor ;: “We will help parents in this important battle and we will make sexist violence disqualify for parental responsibility & rdquor ;.
