This year's International Day of Working Women is held in a context of global economic crisis that is crushing the life chances of people in the working world to end unbearable.
According to the LFS (Labour Force Survey) Most women remain in the black economy in precarious work and also work part time, which represent over 76% of the workforce.
We want to highlight in particular the situation of poor working women, many of them immigrants, domestic workers, workers in service industries in the economy ... also the situation of women are mainly performing tasks and domestic roles.
The above situations are not coincidental. Are the formulas by which capitalism seeks to sustain, making people and their families as producers and consumers to service profitability, causing impoverishment and dehumanization.
is necessary, therefore, that the agreements between business, government and trade unions put on the table so the labor rights of women, rights that allow them to be mothers and to develop their vocation or career. This followed the words of Pope Benedict XVI in his Encyclical "Caritas in Veritate", in number 63, invites us to work for decent work, namely, "a work that in any society, whether expression of essential dignity of every man or woman. "
As specialized Catholic Action movements and Church committed to the working world, militants and activists of the Young Christian Workers (YCW) and the Workers' Brotherhood of Catholic Action (HOAC) can not remain indifferent to these situations. This day is an invitation to commitment and prophetic denunciation, reflection and action, being aware and mindful of the faces of this crisis, especially the faces of the women with whom we live in the centers of study and work in neighborhoods, in rural areas ... We call upon our membership to join in the claims that are made in our environment and we believe in the commitment of new experiences to visualize that humans are capable to organize social life based on equality and on respect for the diversity of each man or woman.
