Women: Easy language

Women's Counselling Centre Beckum

The counselling centre helps in many situations.

Child sexual abuse

Every person has limits.
These must be respected.

People also have boundaries when it comes to sex.

These boundaries must not be violated.

Children, young people and adults can experience sexual violence.

Women and girls experience this more often.

Sexual violence, for example, is:

• to be touched

• being forced to have sex
• have to watch others have sex

That is bad for the person.

Sexual assault and sexual violence are forbidden!

Family

Families can get a lot of help.
Help and money can be applied for.

That's not so easy.
The family guidebook can help.

Women and money

Women and money is an important topic.
For example:

• Women sometimes get less money for their work
• Women have children and work less

Women have to care about money!

Otherwise they are threatened with old-age poverty.
If you are old-age poor,
you can't pay for everything.

You don't have enough money to pay for everything.
For example:

• Rent for the flat

• Food

• Dresses

• Medicines

People who are poor in old age often have to continue working.
Or they need money from the state.
Because they have too little money to live on

Pension gap

Every year, a calculation is made of how much pension women and men receive.
This follows a certain pattern.

Then everyone can see who gets more or less pension.

Unfortunately, women still get less pension.

The difference between the pensions of women and men is called the gender pension gap.
That's English.
It's called the gender pension gap.

This refers to the difference between the pensions of women and men.

The Federal Statistical Office has calculated how big the difference is.
The picture shows it clearly.

Once you calculate what a person gets for themselves alone.
That's the right comparison in the picture.
That's how much the person has paid into the pension through their work and is now receiving.

On the left you can see another comparison.
If you were married and a partner dies, you also get something from this pension.
So you get a pension for your own work and something from the work of the other person.

Women and work

Men and women should have the same opportunities.

Women often take on more care work and child rearing than men.
They don't get paid for this.
Men want to help more with care and child rearing.
A lot still needs to be done so that women and men have equal opportunities.

The website of the FederalMinistryfor FamilyAffairs, Senior Citizens, Womenand Youth( BMFSFJ ) has taken a look at this.
