The measures suggested by the tax reform package will particularly affect poor single mothers, according to some reports. Because of the large percentage of female-headed homes in the Dominican Republic, a group of women is trying to create a different focus on the tax reform programs. Their suggestion is to tax those who have the most. As reported in Hoy newspaper, the Latin American and Caribbean Committee for the Defense of Women’s Rights (CLADEM) and the Women and Health Collective have joined forces to point out how women, as a group, are put aside during discussions on tax reform. Both organizations feel that any tax reform, as is now proposed, will seriously affect the cooking areas of many Dominican households.
