00:10more risk of suffering violence,
00:12more risk of charging less for the same job,
00:15more risk of taking all the care,
00:17more risk of not being able to fully develop your vital projects
00:20because you have to dedicate yourself to other tasks
00:23that men unfortunately do not take care of in equal conditions.
00:27Being a feminist means knowing that a feminist society
00:30and being a woman means knowing that a feminist society
00:32is a better society for women and also for men.

00:54at risk of poverty or social exclusion?
00:56How do you explain the retributive gap?
