Despite the heavy destruction of male employment, women still have less

labor inequality is precisely what makes women vulnerable people
to the crisis economic. UGT and CCOO
we are actively working on the recovery of Social Dialogue,

producido en España. En 2009 se aprobaba el RD 295/2009 que desarrolla la Ley de Igualdad y

reduced hours for child care, etc.) Accounting
a breakthrough for women in the workplace integration and responsibility, in this
sense particularly value the positive reception of paternity leave. UGT and CCOO
also believe that the adoption of Bill for
interruption of pregnancy and reproductive health, is an advance in respect of
autonomy of women and their right to decide and gives greater legal guarantees for women and
professionals. While
despite these advances, UGT and CCOO
want to say that the goal of true equality is still far from reach: it is women who bear
