Today, March 8, is the International Day of Working Women, that's why from Babies and more we want to greet all the working moms, both inside and outside the home.
Despite the difficulties faced by mothers in the field of work-life balance, we congratulate you wholeheartedly for being great balancers between motherhood and the profession (like that book by Immaculate Gilaberte).
However, it is regrettable to recognize that the tribute would be happier if things were easier, if there were real measures to make work and family life compatible, if motherhood was not an obstacle at work.
If we stop in the data on work in Spain, according to a survey conducted by the insurance company Arag, 61 percent of women believe that motherhood "has harmed them to find a job and 17 percent have lied in a job interview about his intention to be mothers. "
Maternal mobbing is still the order of the day. Many young women (21 percent) have been forced to lie about their plans to be mothers because the question about marital status and children is very common in job interviews. 76 percent say they have done it.
In addition, most have the perception that their company does not comply with family and labor conciliation laws.
Even so, working mothers are women who decide to face the adventure of having children, giving the best of themselves and juggling to fulfill at work and raise children. For all this, we send from here a happy day to working moms.
