Less than a week before the first round, which will take place on April 10, the presidential candidates have already completed their program.
For Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who is positioning himself as a true defender of the cause of women this year, it is time for "the equality bonus".
The leader of the La France Insoumise party wants to set up a commission for equality, with the mission of combating all forms of discrimination and at all levels of society.
Because "another world is possible", he writes in bold on the home page of his official website, via his program entitled "The future in common".
The point on his other proposals.
Work
Equal pay.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants to create employee control commission companies, in connection with the labor inspectorate, in order to force the employer to take note of equal pay within his company.
If this is not the case, financial and penal sanctions will be taken.
Also, the boss will have to pay female employees “a compensatory bonus of an amount greater than or equal to the inequality observed”.
Entrepreneurship.
No specific announcement regarding female entrepreneurship.
Paternity leave.
The candidate's wish is to promote parental leave of the same duration between the parents.
In addition, he wishes to improve the care of mothers after childbirth and prevent postpartum-related depression.
Also, it will maintain the right to maternity leave after the death of a child.
gendered professions.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon intends to organize a social conference to revalue the professions occupied by women (such as those relating to care and the link) and to carry out policies in the different territories to deconstruct gendered representations in the professions, and restore parity in the trainings.
This will also go through the promise of total parity in “political, administrative, economic, trade union and associative” institutions.

Health
Health care access.
On his official website, Jean-Luc Mélenchon explains that he wants to reform in depth access to care for women and deplores the closure of many maternities, family planning and other abortion centers.

He also wants to break the taboo on menstruation by creating menstrual leave.
IVG.

It also intends to strengthen the network of abortion centers by opening one center per hospital, and to take this battle to the European level.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon promises to create, in each police station, emergency and care cells (psychological support, listening, support for filing a complaint and medical examination) with qualified personnel.
In addition, it will improve the 3919 telephone service, intended for battered women, by creating more positions.
Recruitment, training and institutions.
In the same vein, he certifies that he will create a High Commission dedicated to the fight against sexist and sexual violence.
This establishment will be directly linked to women's associations.
Also, the candidate wants to allocate, like other of his colleagues, the billion euros desired by these same associations, to fight against violence against women.
In this sense, it guarantees training on gender-based and sexual violence for all the professionals concerned, from the police, through justice, social and health services.
Finally, in National Education, a preventive plan will be put in place to raise awareness among students from an early age.
Penalties incurred.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon is for "promoting resistance (understanding everything that leads an individual to leave the path of delinquency) of violent men."
He will do this by "systematizing the courses of accountability of the perpetrators of domestic violence and by strengthening the staff of the prison service for integration and probation", he explains in his program.

Among the measures of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the creation of a single public service for the reception of early childhood and the opening of 50,000 additional places in nurseries.

In this sense, he also wants to revalue the family support allowance paid to single mothers, and to tax alimony up to a certain threshold, which will be decided with associations.
Education.
The candidate plans to increase the recruitment of teachers (in particular by establishing contract employees) in the schools in order to reach classes of 19 students on average and thus fight against overcrowding.
Also, it will increase wages by 30%.
