Inter Press Service (17.02.2016) El Salvador is debating reforms of the country’s privatised pension system, which could introduce changes so that it will no longer discriminate against women. “The pension system has a male-centred, patriarchal focus that fails to take into account the specific differences that women face in the world,” said Marta Zaldaña, secretary general of the Federation of Independent Associations and Unions of El Salvador (FEASIES).
