Bereavement Leave for Miscarriage Law w/ Ginny Andersen: March 23, 2021

Yesterday, Labour MP Ginny Andersen's Bereavement Leave for Miscarriage bill passed its third and final reading unanimously in Parliament. The law will amend the Holidays Act and covers miscarriage and still birth. Both the mother and their partner can access up to 3 days leave under the law. 

News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Ginny Andersen about the law change and why it is important that miscarriage is seen as a loss rather than a sickness.
