Gli uomini che frequento io non sono certo di quel tipo, ma se ti guardi un po' attorno e apri gli occhietti, magari invece di continuare a pensare secondo pregiudizi storici (tipo che le donne si danno addosso tra di loro, tutte), ti accorgi di come stanno le cose.
Women continue to suffer discrimination in almost all aspects of employment, including the
jobs they can obtain, their remuneration, benefits and working conditions, and their access to decisionmaking positions. Research has shown that gender pay gaps, occupational and vertical segregation, difficulties in balancing work and family life, the disproportionate
concentration of women in part-time, informal and precarious work, sexual harassment,
and discrimination based on maternity or marital status, all persist despite legislative and policy initiatives.
In many cases, women’s access to certain jobs is restricted on the basis of their reproductive role or the fact that women continue to bear the main responsibility for childcare and the care of other dependants. That does not mean that progress has not been made, but rather serves to underscore the fact that women are still a long way from achieving gender equality in the labour market.
Box 2.1
Discrimination starts in childhood
The failure to address educational inequalities fuels a social system of uneven relationships in which discrimination is possible. Being born in a certain place or belonging to a disadvantaged group can restrict the basic human right of children to education on the basis of equal opportunity. In many regions, disadvantaged groups continue to be systematically excluded from, or disadvantaged in their access to, education.
They include girls, children who belong to an ethnic or linguistic minority, children affected by HIV/AIDS, AIDS orphans, children of migrant families, child labourers, children living in rural areas and urban slums, and children affected by armed conflict.
Inclusive and targeted education policies that provide access to high-quality learning environments for those disadvantaged groups are powerful means of building inclusive societies free from the scourge of discrimination. Education systems also play a role in educating against discrimination. Teaching social values of respect, acceptance, tolerance and peace must be at the core of a comprehensive strategy to tackle discrimination early in the life of individuals.
