政協委員：消除性別歧視刻不容緩

在正在進行的兩會上，有政協委員提案呼吁出臺政策、加強監督以維護女性權益，消除女性就業歧視。前中國婦聯副主席、全國政協委員甄硯稱在勞務市場中依舊存在性別歧視。甄硯在兩會期間接受采訪時表示，“一些公司公開宣稱只招男性職工或優先聘用男性應征者。這種情況在‘單獨二胎’的計生政策調整后變得更為嚴重。許多用人單位為了避免給女性放產假而選擇不去雇用女性。”

A political adviser called for regulation and supervision to protect women from being discriminated against in employment during the ongoing two sessions. Zhen Yan, former vice-chairwoman of the All-China Women's Federation and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said gender discrimination still exists in the labor market. "Some companies say openly that only male candidates will be employed or preferred. The situation worsened after the country adjusted the one-child policy. Many companies do not hire women for fear of having to give maternity leave," Zhen said at the sideline of the two sessions.
