Longer Maternity Leave Sparks Public Debate NewTimesRwanda: Rwanda
He made the proposal on March 21, during a parliamentary session that was analysing the bill which seeks to amend the law of 2018 governing labour in Rwanda.
"I think that if possible, such a leave should be increased in the proposed Ministerial Order, to at least six months," he suggested. Aude Kaze, who holds a master's degree in midwifery and maternity care, said that the lawmakers' idea to increase maternity leave period is laudable. Kaze does pre- and post-natal classes, which are in line with maternity and child care.
A female secondary school teacher from Eastern Province, who preferred anonymity, supported the longer maternity leave proposal, referring to complications when a woman gives birth through cesarean section. "Instead, they should set up crèches in institutions, such that mothers leave their infants there under the care of trained nurses while they are at work. And they will go to look after them during the breastfeeding hours within the institution," she said.
