JUICY OLD SEEKS WOMEN OR ... The European Network of Women Journalists reporting on its website that the plenary of the Parliament approved a report entitled "The role of women in an aging society," prepared by the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality, which advocates the implementation of affirmative action to improve the situation of older women.
start my reading of the minutes with the impression that this week I made the intervention Javier Rodriguez Melon sociologist at a meeting of Ebropolis on social issues (I attended as president of AIDCA invited) in which a group identified as a novelty to address: that of single women aged in Zaragoza.
The question interested me on several fronts, primarily because they belong to a group that since 1993 works against stereotypes, which are our particular "burka". Belonging to the Network of Women Journalists also involves an addition, because a woman in a media like TV have to be forever young, fresh, thin ... Da same training, specialization, etc.
When a woman ages lost job opportunities and social work in TV, mobile phones sell or exercise any other profession. Hence the work of the European Parliament.
So I typed in Google "mature woman", "old woman" and most are a number of links to sexually explicit content.
I'll stick with two complaints: that can not be that youth in women at this stage remains a handicap with respect to the possibilities of man and the fact that "there is no" single women with more 40.
then have to clear many areas because it arises from the question of care, until these women themselves are voluntary labor insertion programs.
because women are not mature or old women alone to Western society. Therefore, the finding of a report entitled "The role of women in an aging society," he raises the need to include it in my blog. As a matter of visibility in the universe 2.0 first, so that not only associated with GAD appear in the product which are merely sexual, degraded and humiliated, but because there is an important responsibility from our own environment. The damn burqa denounce stereotypes.
The text, adopted with 562 votes in favor, 78 against and 29 abstentions, calls on Member States to launch campaigns to explain the crucial role that older people in society and also members the Parliament expressed its deep concern about the multiple discrimination faced by women most vulnerable groups: migrant women, disabled, homosexuals, minorities, low skilled, older and affirmative action calls for them too.
The rapporteur of the report, Sirpa Pietikäinen (PPE, Finland) stated that "aging is often seen as a barrier. However, older people enrich our society taking care of our children and providing expertise on the job. They are also very important as consumers. "
The European Parliament calls on member states to establish new types of paid leave "for reasons other than parental care." Members of the Parliament insist that informal care at home restricts the possibilities of working outside the home of the carer, and argue that one way of reducing poverty among older women support flexible systems, such as working part time or shared.
The text concludes that it is necessary adopted a comprehensive policy to support informal caregivers in most women, covering "their status, their entitlements and their rights to social security, social services and support and availability of professional care, "among others.
European Parliament also calls for strengthened policy to support the family, to provide its members with the decision if they choose to take care of themselves to their elderly family members or if they request additional social services. Members clarify that "in both cases, support should be paid equally."
The report calls on Member States to establish mechanisms to ensure that the accumulation of pension rights is sufficient to say, that somehow offset periods of lower revenue from having to perform as carers.
The European Parliament asks the Commission to submit an action plan before the end of 2011, which includes measures to support the solidarity between generations, as plans to support women caring for their grandchildren while their parents work.
Within this plan should also be proposed the changes needed to improve consistency in the field of social security, including pension systems, permits to provide care and systems of part-time job. In addition also recommended a study on the need for more resources for scientific research related to aging. Finally, measures are requested to use the knowledge and experience of older people by, for example, the creation of associations to advise older people seeking employment.
