/ Mom / Child / Guinea: this politician comes to the office with her baby on her back
In Guinea, the chief of staff of the sports ministry goes to her office with her baby on her back. Very professional and courageous, she is a real inspiration for the women of her country.
In Africa, it is customary for mothers to carry their babies on their backs. However, it is rather rare to see them in the office, and even less in positions of responsibility. Yet this is what Fatou Conté, the chief of staff of the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Historical Heritage, does regularly.
On a photo, which has been around the Internet and aroused a lot of reactions, we can see the young woman consulting her computer, documents in her hand and her baby on her back. Known for her great professionalism and uprightness, Fatou Conté also helps through this action to revive the issue of the lack of a place to welcome children in the country's ministries.
A step forward for the country
If the image is talked about so much, it's because it shows the first woman to show off at work as a "working mom", with her child. On Facebook, many people have praised this attitude, like this user who says that “Despite her occupations and heavy responsibilities, she does not take time off work except in cases of force majeure.” Respect to this politician who is not afraid to assume her role of mother at work!
