The deputy of Compromís and spokesperson for Gender Equality and LGBT Policy Committee, Mònica Álvaro, presented a proposal so that the Valencian Parliament urged the board to which from the General Directorate of & #8217; entrepreneurship and cooperativism will assume the creation of & #8217; a programme of business support for women in the Valencian Territory, "with the & #8217; objective of & #8217; To promote new entrepreneurial women and to provide support and incentives to those who have already begun their business creating a network of promotion Support in & #8217; women's entrepreneurial activity ", explained the deputy.

Álvaro added that "it is necessary to carry out a study to analyse the needs of women in the startups sector in order to develop a specific programme aimed at promoting and consolidating the work of women in this sector. And, moreover, it is necessary to promote a Valencian pact ' enterprise and Gender ' with the aim of developing, together with the business world and from the perspective of gender, measures to guarantee equality salary, measures for co-responsibility and measures to promote a balanced presence of the women in the decision-making bodies and the councils of administration of the Valencian companies ". According to the deputy spokesperson for Compromís in the Valencian Parliament, "one of the spaces where there are special difficulties to develop & #8217; economic activity without inequalities is the world of & #8217; entrepreneurship, where women encounter problems especially with conciliation and financing. L & #8217; report Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM Spain) shows that & #8217; year 2018 the rate & #8217; Total entrepreneurial activity was 6.4% under the adult population. Of the total entrepreneurial population, 53.1% were men and 46.9% of women; Of every ten enterprising people identified, between five and six were men and between four and five women. These differences are also within the consolidated entrepreneurial population, even the & #8217; slit & #8217; accentuates: 54.4% men and 45.6% women ". "As main problems for women, if they engage in entrepreneurship, we find conciliation and financing both to start projects and to consolidate & #8217; activity. This report also highlights another factor that influences sex differences and must be taken into account. This is the perception about values and attitudes to undertake, which shows that women have a perception of the risks and their most negative abilities than men ". In this respect, "the creation of & #8217; a solid network that could be trusted, especially among women who have taken or could undertake, is essential to promote the presence in this sector. On the other hand, the current fiscal policy has not & #8217; been built taking into account gender inequalities. Thus, its androcentric essence will generate a series of barriers and economic losses for women who have to be revised in order to guarantee that, from the same system, they are not & #8217; LS are not affecting the circumstances that are mostly or inevitably affecting women ", Mònica Álvaro concluded.
