More than 1700 pregnant women or people on parental leave without contract renewal in 2025

Now8 September 2026 at 09:28

More than 1700 pregnant women or people on parental leave did not see their contracts renewed in 2025, according to data mentioned in the article. This situation raises questions about possible discrimination in the Portuguese labour market.

Between 2020 and 2024, 534 cases of dismissal of pregnant, postpartum or breastfeeding workers, as well as workers who were on parental leave, were reported. These numbers demonstrate a worrying trend of vulnerability of these populations in the labour market.

The article does not specify which sectors were most affected nor the causes cited for these dismissals and non-renewals of contracts. No data is presented on any legal actions or complaints filed by the affected individuals.

The situation occurs in a broader context of labour precariousness in Portugal, where pregnant women and people on parental leave face increased difficulties in maintaining their employment ties. The article does not mention measures announced by the government or proposals from worker rights organizations to combat this reality.

ANDOVI calls for extension of wine support to regions such as the Tejo

The National Association of Wine Denominations of Origin (ANDOVI) considered the support announced by the Government for Douro winegrowers to be positive, but argues that the measure should be extended to the remaining wine-producing regions of the country, including the Tejo, which also faces difficulties in the marketing of production and in the valorization of grapes. In a statement, the association, which represents the 14 wine-producing regions of mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores, warned that the problems experienced in the sector are not limited to the Douro, emphasizing that all regions face similar difficulties in terms of marketing and declining grape prices. ANDOVI hopes that the announced support will constitute only the beginning of a more comprehensive response.
