The Maternity Protection Resource Package provides inspiration and tools to help organizations and individuals everywhere to strengthen and extend maternity protection to all women in all types of economic activity. The Package can be used as a reference for self-learning, training, policy advice, research and action by governments, trade unions, employers' organizations, ILO and UN officials, NGOs, researchers and practitioners. Numerous examples of actions in improving maternity protection at work around the world are highlighted throughout the Package, for guidance and inspiration. The message of the Package is that maternity protection at work for all is both possible and desirable, as it contributes to equitable economic growth, social cohesion and Decent Work for all women and men.

This Maternity Protection Resource Package is designed to:
