Miscarriage & Workplace Rights: The Fight for National Grievance Leave in the Netherlands

Grief doesn’t follow a government calendar, and the "24-week rule" for pregnancy loss leave is finally being challenged. In this powerful episode, Eva joins Fidessa to discuss the movement for national grievance leave for all parents experiencing pregnancy loss. We share an incredible update: thanks to this petition, cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht have already stepped up to accept these terms, proving that local action can force a national conversation.

We take a warm, honest, and direct look at the gap in workplace protections for those experiencing loss in the first or second trimester. This conversation isn't just about policy; it’s about the human right to heal without the pressure of a "business as usual" return to work. Tune in to hear how this grassroots movement is successfully reshaping the Dutch workplace and why your voice is still needed to turn these city-wide victories into a nationwide reality for every parent.
