Bahrain: Shura Council rejects a bill on women’s breastfeeding rights in the private sector

The Chamber of Industry and Commerce and representatives of the private sector rejected the bill claiming that it is not adequate in light of the economic repercussions, especially of COVID-19. They even threatened to dismiss working women if the bill gets approved.\n\n \n\nIt is worth noting that working women in the public sector benefit from the grant for a period of two years, which shows the gap between working in the public and private sectors in Bahrain.\n\n \n\n#Bahrain #Women #Right #Discrimination\n\n
