Speech at the meeting of the Permanent Commission for Family and Equal Opportunities of the Chamber of Deputies

20. 5. 2012

On 20 May, the CWL participated in meetings of the Permanent Commission for Family and RP. She was given the opportunity to present before the parliamentarian's activities and acquaint them with the main challenges that are currently being addressed by CWL. The key themes are:

- Institutional safeguarding of equal opportunities,

- Participation of women in decision-making positions,

- Equal opportunities in the labour market and the availability of care for preschoolers

- Women's reproductive rights and access for migrant women to public health insurance.

Since it was during the meeting of the Commission, there was plenty of room for discussion. The Executive Committee agreed with the President of the Permanent Commission H. Langšádlová to organise two seminars for MPs, on the topic of migrants, health insurance and reproductive rights.

The seminar on migrant access to the public health insurance system took place on 7 October 2011. In addition to MPs, the professional community also participated, especially the Interior Ministry, the Prague City Hall, teaching hospitals, nonprofit organizations and migrants themselves.

Seminar obstetrics were in the form of a public hearing, organised at the beginning of 2012.
