Woman says she is afraid of getting pregnant for fears that she might lose her Job

Helen a married woman of 38 years old who works in one of the popular enterprises in Douala says her boss has warned his female employees that he may not have a place for them again if they soon become expectant.

According to Helen their boss considers the 9 months of gravidity as unproductive to his enterprise and is sometimes fast to discharge female employees who fall prey.

“Many women who have left to go and put to birth have been replaced by our boss within the time the nursing mothers are away” says Helen.

She says many women nowadays prefer to deliver all their children before venturing into the job market.

 Helen is considering quitting her job, having three children before stumping back into the job market. All she prays is that jobs should be available when she returns for part two.

Many women have similar cries like that of Helen almost everywhere in Africa and even in some Western countries. Employers like hers exist everywhere and victims are completely unaware that there are provisions on the labour code that protects them should they consider taking in a seed.
