A female politician¡¯s decision to bring her baby to an assembly session to highlight the difficulties faced by working mothers is drawing support on Twitter, with users saying they don¡¯t mind if people take their children to the workplace.
The use of the hashtag , which roughly translates as ¡°It¡¯s OK to bring a child to a meeting,¡± is believed to have been triggered by filmmaker Kazuaki Kiriya¡¯s tweet Friday that he¡¯s fine with people taking their children to business meetings.
¡°Anyone who works with Kiriya can bring their child along. Whether it¡¯s a meeting, an interview or a film shoot, I don¡¯t mind at all,¡± he tweeted after news articles about Kumamoto Municipal Assembly member Yuka Ogata began appearing.
