Abril 2002 - Erradicar la pobreza en todas las etapas de la vida

Derechos sociales para ellas también
Drawing from the platform of world demands, participating groups insisted that countries' foreign debt be cancelled and the resulting funds be allocated to social programs for women. Other demands were made to ensure gender equality in this sphere (Bolivia, Brazil, India, Jordan, Kurdistan, Mexico, Tunisia). In New Zealand and in Europe, women showed concern over rising poverty and insecurity, and wanted current social systems to be "scaled upwards" so that women can "live with dignity." "The money needed exists: excessive military budgets and the nuclear arms buildup expand to the detriment of satisfying [social] needs," a Frenchwoman wrote. In Canada women demanded respect for social and economic rights, the right to receive their own social assistance, and an old age pension calculated on the basis of their individual income, not on the basis of family income. This particular attention to older women with low incomes, especially if they did not have a job outside the home, was found in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, France, Haiti, Québec. Korean women called for special programs to be set up for women farmers and women with disabilities. Meeting in mid-April 2000, in Bucharest, Romanian, Ukrainian and Yugoslavian women emphasized the demand of recognition of women's unpaid work and protection for women who are doubly threatened (single women, older women, women farmers, young women, and women with disabilities).
