Policies in Favor of Women Return to #Brazil: Lula
On International Women's Day, Brazilian President #Lula da Silva announced policy actions to end wage inequality, fight gender violence, and guarantee reproductive health.
During a ceremony held at the Planalto Palace in #Brasilia, the leftist leader presented a bill in favor of gender equality, which will equalize salaries between men and women who perform the same function.
This proposal includes mechanisms to oversee companies and achieve greater transparency in salary information. Currently, due to deficiencies in the Brazilian legal framework, women receive on average 22 percent less salary than men for the same job.
Other actions are related to the free distribution of sanitary napkins, the construction of 1,189 nurseries, and the ratification of pro-women international conventions.
