“March 8th is an opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements, but also to consider our progress to true equality. Our country has a long legacy of powerful women found at the forefront of our political, intellectual and business journey. Today, we are honoring this tradition by trying to build a society where women will prosper without discrimination, “the prime minister said today, in a message about Women’s Day.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in his post on Facebook, stresses that “in this direction the policies we have implemented since 2019” and states that “when Greeks progress, Greece is progressing”.

The Prime Minister’s post in detail

“March 8th is an opportunity to celebrate women’s achievements, but also to consider our progress to true equality. Our country has a long legacy of powerful women found at the forefront of our political, intellectual and business journey. Today, we honor this tradition by trying to build a society where women will prosper without discrimination. The policies we have been implementing since 2019 also converge in this direction.

I am indicative of the enrichment of our legal framework with provisions shielding the victims of domestic violence. At the same time, however, in the integrated network of 65 structures, 44 consulting centers and 20 hostels across the country. At the 63 Greek Police Counterfeit Offices. On the national line SOS 15900. In Panicbutton that has literally saved many lives.

At the same time, we are implementing family support actions: parental licenses, child allowance of 2,000 euros, increasing tax -free by 1,000 per child, expanding the maternity allowance to farming and self -employed. But also the nannies of the neighborhood in 62 municipalities. The increased vouchers for nurseries. And, of course, the enhancement of female entrepreneurship in sensitive areas, such as Evros.

The percentage representation of women in company administrations was also established. Equality and diversity signals for businesses were adopted and the training of public and private sector executives in diversity were educated. While in all educational levels there are information actions with an emphasis on sexual education, prevention of violence and the fight against stereotypes.

Despite the important steps, however, the road to full equality is still long. That is why new initiatives must be added to what has already been conquered. By all. Because gender equality is not a matter of only women. It is the foundation for prosperity and our identity itself.

When the Greeks progress, Greece progresses. Happy birthday to all!
