State Council Premier Wen Jiabao signed a State Council decree several days ago, publicly issuing the "Special regulations to protect women workers". The regulation indicates that employing units are not allowed to reduce the salary and dismiss women because of pregnancy, giving birth or breast-feeding.
Women workers enjoy 98 days of maternity leave, and additional 15 days before giving birth. If the birth is difficult, 15 more days can be added, and if it is a multiple birth, for every additional fetus 15 days of vacation are added. If women workers undergo abortion in the first four months of pregnancy they can enjoy 15 days of maternity leave, and if they abort the fetus later in the pregnancy, they can take 42 days of maternity leave.
The regulation indicates that the employing unit must guard against sexual harassment of women at the working place.
