<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]Regarding gender economic inequality: wages should be paid to those who work.<\/p>\n

It seems obvious, but in our country it isn’t.<\/p>\n

In Italy, it’s not mandatory for wages to be paid into a worker’s personal account. It can be transferred to an account in another person’s name. This is a legal option, but it’s not neutral.<\/p>\n

This issue fits into the broader context of gender economic inequality. Women, on average, earn less, have more uneven careers, and have less direct access to economic resources. In this context, not having control over one’s own salary reinforces an already existing imbalance.<\/p>\n

This is where economic violence also comes into play, a form of violence that is often invisible: control of resources, limited access to earned money, and the inability to make independent decisions.<\/p>\n

Equality comes not only from major reforms, but also from very concrete choices. One of these is simple: ensuring that wages are paid directly to workers. In other European countries, this is the norm. A small measure on a technical level, but enormous in terms of freedom and dignity. It is one of the proposals contained in the recommendations we developed as the Scientific Committee of UN Women Italy in the November 2025 report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reducing economic gender inequalities also means addressing these seemingly minor details, which make a real difference in everyday life.[\/vc_column_text]
