According to Dutch laws, men and women have been equal for a long time. The reality however proves to be different. Women continue to be paid less than men for doing the same work. Despite quotas in companies and political boards, women are still a minority in top management. About half of the women in the Netherlands are not economically independent, making them and their children extra vulnerable. Reports of domestic violence are staggeringly high and this subject remains a taboo. There is no attention to the difference of the female body in healthcare, even though female bodies generally require a different treatment to male bodies. Additionally, COVID-19 has shown how vulnerable women in caregiving are. These examples make one thing clear: we still have a long way to go. By working together with our members and partners, we amplify our voices. Together we stand united.
