A female politician*s decision to bring her baby to an assembly session to highlight the difficulties faced by working mothers is drawing support on Twitter, with users saying they don*t mind if people take their children to the workplace.

The use of the hashtag , which roughly translates as ※It*s OK to bring a child to a meeting,§ is believed to have been triggered by filmmaker Kazuaki Kiriya*s tweet Friday that he*s fine with people taking their children to business meetings.

※Anyone who works with Kiriya can bring their child along. Whether it*s a meeting, an interview or a film shoot, I don*t mind at all,§ he tweeted after news articles about Kumamoto Municipal Assembly member Yuka Ogata began appearing.
