The new bereavement allowance was passed by the parliament on Wednesday, giving employees the chance to utilize up to 3 days of leave if and when a pregnancy period has ended with a stillbirth. This is in replacement to normal conditions where such traumatic incidents force workers to utilize their sick leaves as compensation.

“The great grief and trauma that comes alongside a miscarriage is just not a sickness, it is a big loss that takes a great time to recover from,” she added in remarks towards the parliament. In the same way, she also mentioned how situations like these require time for the recovery period, both physically as well as mentally.

Andersen also confirmed how the new law extends to not only the women’s partner if she suffered from a miscarriage, but also to those who were trying for a child through the efforts of surrogacy.
