RECOMMENDATION OF MEASURES FOR ACHIEVING EQUALITY

The Commissioner for the Protection of Equality recommends that the Protector of Citizens:

• amend Decision No. 363-401/21 of 9 June 2021, by using the term “parent” instead of the word “mother” and thus include all employees who have children under the age of two, regardless of the employee’s gender.
