Making Workplaces Breastfeeding Friendly for Nursing Mothers in the Workforce

Image
More women are being recruited into the workforce. This is a wonderful development. But it is not enough to give someone a job, it is required that an employer provides a comfortable working environment for their employees. Over the years, working conditions are usually more difficult for women as their unique features are not considered. Women are naturally endowed with the ability to bear children and those in the workforce do this while keeping up with their job requirements. Usually, most workplaces provide maternity leave, but it doesn’t last for very long, especially in private establishments. And these women who give birth need to breastfeed their young ones and the work environment has not made this easy for the woman. Many workplaces are not breastfeeding-friendly. It is surprising that some women are even reprimanded if they are found breastfeeding their babies at their workplaces. Why should we pay attention to this?

Sexual Purity and Purity Culture: My Thoughts

Image
  Some of my friends, who are aware of how vocal I am and how strongly I advocate sexual purity, have asked me what I think of purity culture’s objectification of women. Here are my thoughts: Purity Culture is the culture of abstinence from premarital sex and sexual behaviors. It is a culture that promotes virginity. It is quite popular in many Christian circles.  What is the basis of Purity Culture? Purity culture was instituted to encourage abstinence and sexual purity, especially among young people.

I was raised hearing a lot of advice about maintaining sexual purity as a female Christian. Cover your legs; refrain from wearing revealing clothing; abstain from wearing tight dresses; don’t walk seductively; and use minimal mak

 The peace treaty her father brokered between Roene and the six territories had been broken. Tiara shrugged as her mother informed her of the happenings since she got back from Lagos. I guess they decided to speed-dial their plans. She thought. She continued to sip her coffee without a care. "I know you hate being here," Ebiere said. "But you are the last surviving child of Preye Ayebatari." Tiara rolled her eyes because she knew the direction her mother was stirring. "Mother!" She yelled. "Enough! Do not dangle the golden pie to bait me. You told me I could never have a seat at the council so what do you want me to do?" "Fight!" Ebiere snapped. "You are your father's legacy, do not allow all he fought for go down the drain." Tiara closed her eyes at the painful memory Ebiere's words evoked. It was a rainy evening; she had accompanied her father and her brothers to an event. As they approached the roa
