#Who's watching – FEMNET Factsheets

Women's and children's rights are universal human rights. Although women and children are considered to be particularly vulnerable members of society, they still suffer the most from human rights violations worldwide. In order to protect mothers and children in the world of work, there is, for example, paid maternity protection in almost all countries of the world and in some countries even the legal requirement for the employer to provide childcare facilities in the workplace. India and Bangladesh are among these countries, but implementation is often catastrophic. For example, childcare facilities in factories, if any, are usually inadequate in terms of quality and capacity, even though they are required by law. The lack of care facilities for children under the age of 6 poses enormous difficulties for working mothers and places an additional great burden on them. Many children are inadequately cared for and thus have no chance of early childhood education or development opportunities.
