Maternity Rights
Maternity rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements that support pregnant employees and new mothers. These rights typically include maternity leave, which allows women to take time off work during and after childbirth, and the ability to return to their job afterward. Many countries also provide financial benefits during this period, such as maternity pay or allowances. Additionally, these rights protect against discrimination or unfair treatment due to pregnancy or maternity status, ensuring a supportive work environment for both expectant and new mothers.
