Sexual Discrimination: one of the Social Issues of Chile

Today the government say that more equality exists in genres, in politics, in works, rights, etc. Though the modern world has stimulate a series of changes in this kind, is clear that many differences exists in this kind compared with 50 years ago, but even exists discrimination to the feminine genre.

I don´t considerer a “feminist” or “chauvinist” person, but when I see the reality and with objectives eyes, I considerer that even exists important points that today I don´t know if they are far of to be completely results, but is true that has been complicated to advance in the “genre equality”.

For example in works, a man and a woman that occupy the same position, they work the same hours and under the same conditions, but they are not equally remunerated, the men earn a certain percent more than women. This not has to be like that, the capacities are not to measure as the genre. In another hand serious problem exists owed to the probabilities to be pregnant. The companies prefer to avoid to contract women between 18 and 30 years old owed to they have a high percent to be pregnant, because they are highly fertile ages. The fact that they conceive a baby implies medical licenses, obligatory payments of salary of the company, “post-natal” and a series of benefits that for rights the government tries to grant to the women in this condition. Therefore sometimes it turns to in a challenge to obtain a work under these conditions.

I think that the solution for these it is that the government continues advancing in the social politics that try to assure the rights of women, but this politics have to be stronger. I hope that manages to balance and to assure finally the equality of genre.
