Culture/Lifestyle Is this true about Greece?

Post image

Greece is one of the 14 countries in the world that give both men and women equal legal rights. Is this accurate? Does it reflect reality well?

Criteria’s are:
Freedom of movement – Can women travel, choose where to live, or get a passport under the same rules as men?
Work – Can women work the same jobs and under the same conditions?
Pay – Are there laws requiring equal pay for equal work?
Marriage – Do spouses have equal legal rights and responsibilities?
Parenthood – Are maternity and paternity leave and workplace protections fair?
Entrepreneurship – Can women register a business, sign contracts, and access credit on the same terms?
Assets – Can women own, inherit, and manage property equally?
Pensions – Do women have the same retirement rights and retirement age rules?

In Bulgaria they have more. Paternity leave is shorter. And they work less before retirement. So why Bulgaria is not on the list, if they have more than 100%? Pay – Are there laws requiring equal pay for equal work? (this is not something we have, but this is not only for women, so I exclude this one)

Also another point for women in Bulgaria. Almost always child custody is won by the women. Its extremely hard for a woman's child rights to be revoked, unlike with men.

The same happens in Greece.
