The new Minister of Women Eva-Maria Holzleitner (Spö) sees himself as a feminist. The movement takes place for a “human future,” she said on Thursday. With this, Holzleitner of her predecessor Susanne Raab (ÖVP) understood, who had not described herself as a feminist.
On the occasion of the World Women’s Day on March 8, Holzleitner presented planned measures in the government program. Ankle manchets for risky perpetrators, a national action plan against violence against women and a “Dick-Pic paragraph”, which places the unwanted shipping of penis images.
Holzleitner wants to fight the unequal payment of women and men with wage transparency. Companies must justify unequal salaries. Managers who could not do this must adjust the income. Moreover, a maintenance guarantee must be made. If fathers cannot pay or do not meet the request, women and children should no longer have to wait long for money.
Another point in the government program is that women are promoted in science and research and that articles and contraceptives for women for women must be exempt from sales tax.
“Ambitious timetable”
The government program is “ambitious,” said Holzleitner in a press conference on Thursday. However, the government program does not include earlier claims from the politician, such as a legal right to childcare from the first year of life and a pretension of the abortion of the Criminal Code. “The Spö does not offer any government,” said the Minister of Women.
On the occasion of the World Women’s Day, the Neos set up a stove on Mariahilfer Straße in Vienna and distributed Flyers. In addition, they protested against the “stove bonus”, which is occasionally available for Elten who take care of their children at home. This would put pressure on women and that children with another native language do not learn German in a care institution, argumented female spokeswoman Henrike Brandstötter against the premium.
