Menstruation
In need of maturity

‘Female workers from Ukraine will be in a weaker bargaining position. This is a huge challenge for the labour inspectorate: to ensure equality in employment is enforced when hiring people from Poland and Ukraine’, said Dr. Iga Magda, Vice President of the Institute for Structural Research, Professor at the Department of Economics of the Warsaw School of Economics.
