Maternity leave

DID YOU KNOW

Here in Switzerland, women who adopt babies do NOT have the explicit right to maternity leave based on national legislature 😱😱😱😱 I'm shook!

BUT the people who hire you to work have free choice to give you up to 14 weeks of vacation that counts as maternity leave. And they can only give them to you as long as the adopted kid is under 8 yrs of age.

But wtf... I thought every parent with a baby had the right to maternity leave, adopted or not.

What is it like around the world?

And do you think mothers of adopted kids should get maternity leave?
