Lisbon, May 23 (EFE) .- (Camera: Irene Barahona) As Europe begins to recover from the impact of the pandemic, new threats are emerging, such as the falsification of vaccines, which requires a joint response and "a common law," says the Portuguese Minister of Justice, Francisca Van Dunem, in an interview with Efe.FOOTAGE OF THE INTERVIEW WITH VAN DUNEMTRANSLATION "It is important that above all, here the important thing is that there was a common base.

Call attention to this type of serious crime that can put at risk the health and life of people who have a common typical picture for the states to cooperate with each other ". "It is a very sensitive matter, worked on by the Secretary of State for Equality. What I can say is that in this matter, on the one hand Portugal signed the Pact of the Istanbul Convention." "Form in a way how we protect victims, how we face victimization, how victims feel protected and empowered, not only to report, but to continue in the process in the consequent phases."

But if the company gives you the option of working from home, it is already an opportunity for women. But I think that in these times and with the confinement, we find ourselves in difficulty."Laura:"At this moment personally, fortunately, I do not have this difficulty. But in fact I have a friend who cannot find a job, it's difficult for her"."For women working from home it is more complicated because they have to manage work, home and children in the same environment, so I think it is more complicated. I think whoever has help is lucky and will surely use it, because it is more complex to do everything by yourself. On the one hand, it can be an advantage and on the other hand a disadvantage, especially if the children are young. If the child is older, it can be better managed and work from home, but if the child is small; you are working concentrated and the child is seeking attention. "

But for low-income families, this is more difficult because only the school gives their children the opportunity of integration and development."
