As things currently stand, breastfeeding in public in Germany is a
tabu subject; women do not have any protection whatsoever and we, the
undersigned, strongly believe that lawmakers must do more to fight this type of
discrimination in public spaces.
Let us think of the following example: a woman and her partner are
walking in a shopping center with a young baby; the woman needs to breastfeed,
so they sit at a café – but that coffee
shop could easily have them removed from the premises – all legally done!
This is nothing short of discriminatory and unacceptable behavior. Restaurant
or café owners should not be allowed to make individual calls on wheter a woman
could feed her baby in their facility or not. This is not how society
functions.
It is our firm belief that there is nothing offensive about a child
eating; it’s the most natural thing in the world, actually. But due lack of
protection, women no longer feel comfortable anymore while breastfeeding; since
when has feeding your child become a crime? Why should they hide at home or
force to go in unsanitary bathrooms to do so?
We, as a society, must understand that breastfeeding is the best and
healthiest way for a child to grow up. Women should not be ashamed of it and
society should stop discriminating these mothers.
Support my petition and ask German lawmakers to adopt new measures
to legally protect women who breastfeed! Thank you!
