MP with Baby Forced to Leave Parliament in Kenya
肯尼亞一名帶著孩子的議員被迫離開議會
A female MP was asked to leave parliament in Kenya this week after bringing her five-month-old baby with her to work. Zuleika Hassan explained that she brought her baby because she was unable to get childcare that day, and there was no nursery on site. Other female MPs showed support for their colleague by walking out of the chamber with her. While the house rules say that “strangers” including children are not allowed in the chamber, the MP argued that the government should set an example by offering family-friendly workspaces.
本周,肯尼亞一名女議員帶著五個月大的孩子去上班,隨后被要求離開議會。Zuleika Hassan解釋說,她帶著孩子去上班是因為那天她無法獲得兒童照管,而且現場沒有托兒所。其他女議員也隨她一起離場,對其表示支持。盡管眾議院規定,包括兒童在內的“陌生人”不允許進入眾議院,但這位議員認為,政府應該以身作則,提供對家庭友好的工作場所。
