A motion seeking significant change
Within the framework of the celebrations of International Women’s Day, the PSPV-PSOE political groups, Compromís and win Alcoi have presented a joint initiative before the City Council. The main purpose of this motion is to promote a series of measures that strengthen gender equality at all levels: local, regional and state.
Concrete actions for an egalitarian future
Among the proposals included in the motion is the need to address the pay gap that affects women, as well as promoting their participation in STEM sectors. These actions are essential to ensure that women can have the same job opportunities as men, as well as to ensure equitable distribution of family responsibilities.
Commitments to society
Representatives of political formations have expressed their intention to turn Alcoy into a model to follow the defense of women’s rights. They have emphasized the urgency of taking effective measures to eliminate the inequalities that persist, such as pay discrimination and the lack of female representation in leadership positions.
Autonomous and state -level requests
In addition to local actions, the motion calls for the Valencian Parliament to work on a law that facilitates labor and family reconciliation, a crucial step to alleviate the burden of women in care tasks. It is also required in the Valencian government to renew the II Valencian Pact against gender and sexist violence, as well as implementing employment plans focused on reducing female unemployment, which is still disproportionately high.
Political unit for a common goal
Political groups have stated their determination to move towards effective equality and expect other political forces to join this initiative. Equality is not only a desire, but an urgent need for the progress of society.
The role of feminism in rights struggle
The spokesman for the socialist municipal group, Jordi Martínez, emphasized that feminism has been essential for advances in the field of rights, but that there is still a long way to go. He has emphasized the need for solid political commitment that guarantees real and effective rights for all women.
A renewed perspective for a social change
From Commitment, Councilor Alex Cerradelo has stated that 8M is a date to claim real equality. Its council is working on various activities that promote a fairer society, with the aim of ensuring that women’s rights are respected and guaranteed.
Firm commitment to equality
The councilor of winning Alcoy, Mari Carmen Paredes, has strengthened the idea that it is essential to continue fighting for gender equality. He said that structural inequalities are still present and that it is a responsibility of everyone to work for a future where women are not only the same, but also free of violence and discrimination.
