During yesterday's Revisory Assembly meetings, Assembly members rejected several motions on the issue of sex discrimination and the protection of women's rights. PRSC legislator Agnes Berenice Contreras has warned that with this vote "men are trying to cut down the women's proposals." She added that women are discriminated against both economically and politically, even though they make up 52% of the population. PLD member Yudelka de la Rosa's proposal to modify Article 29 of the Constitution on equal treatment, was denied. De la Rosa proposed that the phrase "balanced participation" be changed to "equitable participation". In the same article a motion to guarantee equal pay for men and women was also rejected.
