A Bulgarian woman has raised the alarm about discrimination due to gender and origin when occupying a senior position in one of the largest networks in the EU in the field of social services and people with disabilities. The reason is a drastically lower remuneration that she received, despite the good results during her service, reports BNT.
"I worked in one of the EC's key partners. I got the position after multiple interviews. And my position was general secretary, i.e. the highest in the organization. About 4 months after I went to Belgium with my family and three children, I accidentally realized through a reference that I was paid 30% less per year compared to the same job in the same organization and the colleague before me. And naturally I started asking questions," says Maya Doneva.
