1.Women and work

In the last few years there have had a lot of campaigns to avoid the gender discrimination.

The new President of the Government of Spain, José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, had appointed seventeen Ministers, nine women and eight men. It’s the first time in the hystory that the Minister of Defence is a woman.

Last September, a woman, Miriam Galisteo Manzanares, for the first time in the history, was named firewoman in Barcelona. She ought to pass a very difficult exam as the same that the others applicants, all of them were men.

Amparo Moraleda Martinez is the President in Spain of an important company, IBM.

In my opinion there is a lot of discrimination in the Armed Forces and in the others sectors as engineering industry, agriculture, fishery, building, etc.
