Social Rights incorporates equality as an essential tool in municipal work (19/10/2017)

It proposes a hundred actions to promote equality through six strategies of action: gender mainstreaming in municipal policies, training and employment, conciliation and co-responsibility, gender violence, education for equality and social participation.

The plan proposes the development of 84 actions in charge of the different municipal services.

Incorporating equality as one more tool in the municipal work is a commitment of the Council of Social Rights, directed by Conchita Ruiz, which will be revealed in the II Equal Opportunities Plan, whose proposal has been studied today in the Municipal Commission for Gender Equality.

The document has been prepared during 2017, taking into account national and regional legislation on equal opportunities between genders, as well as recommendations, resolutions, plans and strategies, both at the international and European level, as well as national and regional .

Likewise, we have had the proposals of the municipal services, since transversality is fundamental to ensure the success of the implementation of the plan.

Its approval is necessary to continue promoting and developing equal opportunities between men and women, for which it is necessary to develop a specific plan that contains concrete measures to carry out in several areas.

The result of all this is the proposal analyzed today in the collection of 6 strategic areas or areas of action, which in line with municipal competencies, mark the municipal action to include a gender perspective in the policies of the City Council, with the aim of achieving equal opportunities between women and men in the municipality.

Gender transversality in the municipal policies , with which it is tried to integrate the gender perspective in the projects and measures of the City council.

The objective is to know the state of gender equality in the municipality, with actions such as the evaluation of municipal actions from a gender perspective, social clauses in recruitment or promote inclusive language and non-sexist image in the administration.

Training and employment , which seeks to improve training for women's employment, and proposes actions such as increasing the employability of women with greater difficulties due to age, origin, ethnicity, gender violence or risk of exclusion or the development of an entrepreneurship program female.

Conciliation and co-responsibility , whose objective is to promote and support the reconciliation of work, family and personal life and co-responsibility between men and women in the public and private spheres.

Among the actions included is the creation of spaces in the municipal buildings open to the public for the care of the babies (measure already incorporated in the new constructions and reforms of centers), the extension of the schedules of attention to the citizenship, the increase of municipal public places of schooling from 0 to 3 years and dependent persons and the adaptation of the schedules of the nursery schools and conciliation centers.

Gender violence , whose eradication involves measures aimed at preventing situations, improve and anticipate the detection of cases and care for women who require comprehensive intervention as a guarantee of their recovery and protection.

In this area, the plan proposes actions in the educational and health field, with associations of women with disabilities, immigrants or older women.

Education for equality in the fields of formal and non-formal education, for which purpose actions are taken to recognize and make visible to women who have been part of history by publishing an annual thematic catalog that will serve to incorporate relevant women in the street or the design of guided visits on the contribution of women to the social, economic, cultural and political history of the municipality, through 'Feminine Plural' tours.

Social participation , aimed at increasing the participation of women by promoting the associative and representative movement of women and in municipal decision-making.
