Gender inequality, with women already performing <a href="https://waba.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9c4737de875c6fa12b87991e8&id=3769061fc2&e=858833e631" style="color:#26abe2;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">three times more unpaid care work</a> in addition to their paid work than men, has exacerbated during COVID-19 and impacted on the work-life balance.

Employees are required to work from home and those unable to work for home could be given leave. Telework is an opportunity for some families with newborns to have time and support to breastfeed on demand while still participating in paid work. At the same time, workers on the frontline face increased workload and health risks and challenges in carrying out their parental responsibilities including child care and breastfeeding. </p>
