Women should not have to worry about their student loan when they are absent from work due to pregnancy or childcare. In the Netherlands, payments and interest are paused during maternity leave.
We call upon the National Women’s Committee to launch a campaign to seek legal changes to the student loan scheme. Payments and interest should be paused while ex students are absent from work due to maternity leave or childcare.
