This shows that there are indirect forms of discrimination affecting women and girls.<br /><br />Knowing that women are in a more vulnerable position than men, this ALDE seminar aims to review the efficiency of the measures undertaken by the Commission when tackling pay gap.<br /><br />This is also reflected in pension rights for women and their welfare.<br /><br />----------------------------------------------- <br /><br />MEP's Concerned: Siiri Oviir, Filiz Hakaeva Hyusmenova, Anneli Jäätteenmäki<br /><br />For more information: milena.dimitrova(at)europarl.europa.eu<br /><br />[ALDEADLE-FULL-EVENT] [Event] [Workshop] [Language EN]<br /><br />100622-ALDEADLE-FULL-EVENT-Workshop-on-Gender_Pay_Gap
