“I have to reproach Raab for not addressing the reality of life, the situation of women, at all. She would be there to interfere,” criticized the former Minister of Women. Raab is only concerned about the issue of protection against violence: “Otherwise, I would not make any effort to highlight the life situation of women, much less improve it. I would have to make weekly announcements about the life situation of women. women because male crisis management forgets about them. Women feel quietly abandoned. “
Something happened this year, but: “If the government does something that we have been demanding for a long time, then it is only doing it half.” From his point of view, Heinisch-Hosek named one as an example The legal right to special care, the exemption for pregnant women, which should apply to all, or the reduction of VAT on hygiene products, because these should be eliminated completely.
The SPÖ women will kick off the new year on January 18 with the Barbara Prammer Symposium in the form of a video conference. On the next Women’s Day you will be “noisy in the street” and you will also be active on social networks, announced the federal chief. What is required are “smart employment models” that allow compatibility, as well as specific programs related to digitization “so that women can survive economically well into the coming year.”
There will be a change at the top of the SPÖ women next year. Heinisch-Hosek, who has held this position since 2009, will no longer hold the position, his successor remains open. The women’s conference is expected to take place in the fall, as before the federal party conference. With the president of the party Pamela Rendi-Wagner, she was “very satisfied”, especially since the corona pandemic shows that “crisis management could also be different.” It has not yet been decided whether the SPÖ will send someone from its ranks into the race or support incumbent Alexander Van der Bellen in the upcoming federal presidential elections. Basically, Heinisch-Hosek said: “Austria is ready for a federal president and a federal chancellor.”
