Column by Tanja Karmzova Costigliola: Same qualifications and labor, and yet salary by gender

The salary is a striking example of inequality, inequality and a desperate symbol of notorious disrespect, with enormous differences in the amounts of identical qualifications and labor, and a different gender.

Flowers, vases, pans and pots are part of the range of gifts for women, for every occasion. Greater stigmatization is even harder to invent.

Flowers may adorn the monuments to Clara and Rosa, Simon and Virginia, the graves of women victims of domestic violence, the sanatorium rooms that housed those who survived torture and rape, and / or sexual mutilation. thus denying them the opportunity and the right to enjoy bodily pleasures. Mothers who work as much as fathers, and at the same time maintain the home with those vases and bland decorations on which dust is collected, are an additional task for the housewife - "because it is a shame". Kitchen utensils in which she will cook better to feed the family, as if it is exclusively her task, is a second, third or fourth profession for which she does not receive financial compensation. By the way, when I already mentioned salary, it is a striking example of that inequality, inequality and a desperate symbol of notorious disrespect, with enormous differences in the amounts for identical qualifications and labor, and a different gender. The only thing that should be done for women in general, both by men and women in solidarity, not as a gift but exclusively as a duty, is to stand on the same battle line with those who are already fighting. I believe that no one is in a position, nor is there any interest in seeking superiority, even though men have been indebted to women for centuries. Equality should be a common goal and a common struggle, so that all its benefits are common. Equality should be a common impetus and common motivation to defuse tensions and establish something resembling that utopian notion of harmony.

As a girl, I suffered an attempt at abuse that few knew about, and later physical violence on a single, single occasion. I did not allow that to place me as an eternal victim, nor as a guaranteed loser. Unfortunately, not all succeed.

As a woman, I am lucky that I do not lack respect, nor do I need to ask for help to clean the house, the perception of a common corner with all the pleasures and responsibilities is rooted in the foundations of my couple and we have been functioning for more than a decade.

As a professional, the story is much less idyllic, and I traditionally face a lower labor market price compared to my male counterparts, with a few job interviews being knocked out of the door due to obscene insinuations and a sexist approach.

There is no valid reason for silence. Before any type of disenfranchisement. We are many, we are necessary, we are capable. It is not taboo to be a woman, nor is it a sin. It is not a choice, but a "chance" factor. We have thousands of reasons for pride, including the fact that we are different and as such contribute in a fairer and more just society. You have thousands of reasons with your human size, at your level, to contribute to equality between the two sexes, which merge under the term human.
