97 |
98 | //I know and hear about the oppression of women at work: the requirement of the boss to engage in sexual relations so as not to lose her job. And this is a very common occurrence. In Moldova, this phenomenon is very hidden and is not yet discussed in the press, only on the sidelines. (Female, over 50 years old)//
99 |
100 | //Gender quotas that discriminate against men [...] require the promotion of women without taking into account the merits, the capacities and the passion for the respective work. (Male, 35-50 years old)//
101 |
102 |
103 | //In the absence of the special staff employed to perform facility management tasks, these tasks are assigned to men without being mentioned in the job description and without being paid (maintenance of the company car without a driver, maintenance of the heating system, generator, air conditioning, etc.). (Male, 35-50 years old)//
104 |
105 |
106 | //As a father, they did not give me an insurance medical policy for a child in a clinic, even though they had my passport, an old medical policy, and even though they had the child, they demanded mother to come, at my demands they told me that I, as a father, had the same rights, //[but]// they say this is the instruction. (Male, over 50 years old)//
107 |
108 |
109 | //Female //[medical]// consultations are free for women, for men there are no male consultations - andrologists and sexologists, as a rule, are all paid, as if a man does not in any way take part in the reproductive process. - This is discrimination based on gender. (Male, over 50 years old)//
110 |
111 |
112 | [Women are discriminated] //When distributing work tasks and involving only women in office cleaning; making decisions during activities that women do not participate in (e.g. "to soccer with boys"). Some abilities are attributed to men only because they are men (e.g. smart, risky) and women (e.g., earnest, caring). (Female, 35-50 years old)//
113 |
114 |
115 | //Faced with the fact that when applying for a job, they immediately said that I would soon go on maternity leave ... :( (Female, 35-50 years old)//
116 |
117 |
118 | //In some projects, only men or only unmarried women were selected, because married women do not have time to get involved as much in the project. (Female, 35-50 years old)//
119 |
120 | //[I]t is true that some jobs are really not for women, even if they consider it to be discrimination. It is strange to see a woman driving a TIR truck, but, physically, she is not able to remove any minor damage that could be repaired by a man. (Female, 35-50 years old)//
121 |
122 | //The society is full of outdated patriarchal concepts which is reflected on all spheres of life and creates impediments in the intellectual, spiritual and entrepreneurial development of women. (Female, under 35 years old)//
123 |
124 | //Often, gender discrimination is exacerbated by other types, namely: - on a linguistic / ethnic basis; - by age (they do not hire over a certain number of years - 25, 30, 35 - despite their high qualifications. And old women pensioners are not considered at all, except in the case of favours); - by education (although there are such self-taught people who will give a hundred points handicap //[to surpass significantly]// to diploma holders) (Female,over 50 years old)//
125 |
126 | //I don’t know / didn’t hear about others, namely gender. But about others, such as by age, by education, by nationality - it was. Sexual harassment, of course, is not relevant here, but I know about this kind of pressure and even blackmail on women. (Male, over 50 years old)//
127 |
128 | [There is discrimination based on]// //[s]//exual options, convictions, religion, nationality and ethnicity (e.g. gypsy), region (e.g. Moldovan), income and status, townsman-peasant differences, favours, etc. (Female, 35-50 years old)//
