One of the main problems for women in the workplace today regards equal opportunity for women to return to work after maternity leave. |
There is no doubt that a lot of work needs to be done to update the law and this could be the first move into the right direction. But at the same time, a stronger policy and message of enforcement needs to be put into place. |
We have suggested that the current law be amended and the period during which women are not allowed to be fired after maternity leave be extended from 45 days to six months but without success. |
