On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, which takes place on Friday March 8, Cynthia Illouz, founder of The Women’s Voices, is the guest of 19/20 info. She returns to the subject of equal pay.
International Women’s Day takes place Friday March 8. If the inclusion of voluntary termination of pregnancy in the Constitution is progress, there are still fights to be fought for women’s rights, particularly on equal pay. France is a good student on the subject compared to some of its neighbors, but the score is not there yet. “We are absolutely a good student on this subject, even if (…) we still have a way to go. We would like, once we have said it, to change it immediately, and unfortunately, This is not the case”deplores Cynthia Illouz, founder of The Women’s Voices, in 19/20 info.
“We are moving forward little by little”
“The differences range between 5, 10, 15, 25%, depending on the figures we take into account.explains Cynthia Illouz. “Afterwards, there is what we look at, what we are going to analyze, because it is: ‘For equal work, equal pay’, except that, as women are obliged to take time partial because they have to look after the children, obviously, this figure is increasing”explains the founder of The Women’s Voices. “There are still a certain number of things that we can improve. (…) There have been nearly eight texts on equal pay, so we are moving forward little by little, but it is true that we I would like it to go faster.”believes Cynthia Illouz.
