On the eve of March 8, International Women's Day, the candidate of the PSOE to the Town Hall Sewer has described as "meager" the sum of 9,000 euros that the PP Government team allocates to the departure of activities for women.
The aforementioned sum is included in the municipal budget that has been extended since 2016. Saavedra considers that regardless of the money that the Consistory receives annually from the regional government for this chapter, "the Popular Party should invest more own funds from the municipal coffers to allocate them to our neighbors, because according to data from the National Institute of Statistics, of the 41,622 people who reside in our city, a total of 21,083 are women, and we seem to be insufficient 9,000 euros. "
The Socialist candidate recalls that the Consistory presents "numerous shortcomings" in terms of equality, "some of the most important are the absence of an Equality Department and a plan to work on this subject in the local administration and the business fabric of the location".
For this reason, Saavedra advances that in the next legislature "one of my priorities will be to implement a comprehensive equality plan with sufficient financial resources to make effective policies in this area, first in the City Council, and then in the companies of the city to through tax incentives. "
No shelters for victims of sexist violence
Saavedra is also committed to "significantly increase" the allocation of municipal budgets for women's activities and to end the lack of shelters for victims of gender violence that exists in Sewer.
"We do not have a single floor and in these cases it is crucial to offer an alternative to those women who are mistreated, since many times they do not file a complaint against their partner because if they leave the marital home they literally stay in the street", alerts Saavedra .
