Origin - 2018 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 7, insert the following sentences:

"Accordingly, the Assembly recognises that maternity and motherhood must be supported and protected within the workplace and must not be treated as though they were impediments for a woman's career. Equal treatment of men and women within the economy is essential to society - indeed, motherhood is not just an economic driver but is also a priceless contribution to society as a whole."
