Green New Deal for Greener Cities - climate change as a challenge for local policies: 4th Green Local Councillor Congress
|
U Stuttgart-u je održan četvrti kongres zelenih lokalnih vijećnika.Među govornicima je bila i Vlasta Toth, supredsjednica Zelene liste i nositeljica liste za grad Zagreb.Evo kako su ju pretstavili na tome skupu EGP-ia. Minutes from Workshop on Women in Local Politics and Administration Chair: Myroforna KOSTIDOU Speakers: Vlasta TOTH (Croatia) Vlasta Toth, local councillor from Zhagreb Vlasta explained the legal background, pointing out the various laws that existed concerning such things as family abuse, gender equality, etc. This was then contrasted with statistics to show that reality was far different, for instance that only 5% of senior managers are women and women earn, on average, 15% less than men for the same work. A serious consequence is that women end up with lower pensions. Politics mirrors this situation. Only 22% of MPs are women, and a mere 3 are ministers. Women headed only 7% of political lists in the local elections of 2005. A survey on women in political life showed that men and women both attribute their low participation to the same factors – a double workload of job+family, a patriarchal society and the perception that women are weaker than men. Political parties bear responsibility for this, by failing to put women in significant places in their lists and, when elected, to give them responsibility for important portfolios such as finance, transport or security. Greens have a better policy, with a minimum of 40% women on lists, and they will contest the local elections in June in several constituencies, including Zagreb, where the head of list is Vlasta. In Croatia, the rights have women have actually regressed in the 1990s compared to the times under Tito. There was much better social protection and gender equality then, enforced by sanctions. |
