Oman: Call to allow accompanying leave for women workers in the private sector

Asia Al Harthy, chairwoman of the Working Women’s Committee in the Oman Air Workers’ Trade Union, called for improving working women’s privileges in the private sector. Among the licenses a working woman need is a leave to accompany a patient.

 

The trade union official called for enacting a clear and explicit text, noting that women working in many private sector institutions are forced to take emergency leave, especially when it is related to the illness of their children.
