QICA protests against the Government's decision about the lechos: Anti-feminist, discriminates against women

The QICA organisation has held a symbolic action to express their frustrations over the policy presented by the Government of Kosovo for “the payment for lehona”.

The research media, Daut, has said that the Government's decision is anti-femining, as it shows the discriminated mentality that child care is solely duty of women.

This decision also does not involve parents who adopt children. After the action, Kosovo police are interested in obtaining information for public access.

Her full word:

“Parentage empowers women today changed the image that the Government of Kosovo presented, where only the mother holds the baby. Father is in the picture now, because he has the same obligation to care for his family. Kosovo Government Policy é” The payment for the” admonition presented the previous day is anti-feminist essentially. “This policy presents a step back in the current request of feminist activists for parental rest and equal division of care jobs. The state decided to adopt the standard that only a woman should take care of a child after giving birth. This policy has also not included families that are not heteroms, nor those that have no biological but adopted children. So this policy is discriminated against. Parental rest is not just for women. No preliminary research has been carried out to compile and realisation of this initiative that proves that such politics will help empower women, as presented by the Government. Moreover, this policy was not based on many research that only exists on this subject.

And under the Law on Gender Equality, each new policy should include a gender perspective, be based on gender analysis, and make sure it targets the specific needs of women and men. That didn't happen. All existing policies for birth rest in Kosovo are based on the wrong impression that child care is a duty of women and only women. In fact, the concept of parental rest does not exist at all in the Labour Law, women are given up to 12 months of lehonia (a longer vacation in the world) and men up to 3 days.

“According to various research, the long duration of the lehonia rest, the financial burden of the private sector, as well as the lack of clear parental rest provisions : 1) increase women's discrimination in the labour market; 2 ) increase the burden of unpaid jobs for women, and 3) hinder the achievement of gender equality. In order to have more equal division of unpaid jobs as well as higher involvement of women in the labour market, referring to local and international research on this issue, QICA considers that these steps must be provided among other things: 1) should be cut off from lehonia, extend the firing of fatherhood, and recognise the concept of parental rest, a part of which must be untransmittable (at least 2 months) . “also needs to be extended for flexible working hours for mothers and fathers by the age of 8. The “Pages for the lehoma” set before the Government does not amount to gender equality or women's empowerment. Let parents help with similar provisions for child rearing, but a parent is not just a mother. By means of this payment, care responsibilities are being left alone with the wife. That's why we're resisting him. Parental rest is not just for women.
