To change the law, to make it a hate crime to discriminate nursing Mums

Petition Details

Some still it okay to ban or have removed a nursing Mum feeding her baby. Still others seem to think it is fine to approach a nursing Mum and comment how inappropriate it is. If a nursing Mum is made anxious or upset feeding her baby it can affect her and the baby.

Additional Information

Breast feeding should be allowed in all public and non public places. It should be protected in law. Surely is deserves to be a protected characteristic that a nursing Mum cannot be discriminated against or harrassed while nursing her child

Please make it a hate crime to carry out such behaviours against nursing Mums
