Florence Zawadi, Cashier at Rwanda Commercial Bank (BCR) “The most important aspect is to reinstate the maternity leave from the current one and half months to three months. In most cases women are not strong enough to strain at work within a few months especially if they underwent caesarian birth. However, the Maternity Insurance scheme will greatly help those that are terminated from their jobs just because they are pregnant.”
