> Since 1998, the Coalition has been advocating and campaigning for stronger national legislation, good collective bargaining agreements and measures inside the workplace, as well as ratification of the International Labour Organisation Convention 2000 (No.183) on maternity protection at work.
This is because it is essential for women to benefit from superior
maternity protection conditions such as long leave, financial and
health benefits, job protection and breastfeeding breaks if they are
to remain healthy and to give birth to healthy children during the
many years they are at work.  <

>DOHA � Nurses, who are also mothers of infants, at Hamad Medical
Corporation (HMC) are seeking an extra hour to be allowed to
breastfeed their children.
Currently, the Corporation allows nurses to take an hour off to feed
their children. This time limit has been in force for the last six
months, the nurses say. "We should be allowed two hours as is the case
in ministries and other government departments," the nurses said.<
