Women often face the tough choice of choosing between their children and responding to the call of duty. The situation can be particularly difficult for journalist mothers, many of whom said they were torn between childcare and professional duties.   Falguni Rashid, staff reporter at Ekattor Television, said at times she wished she could stay with her child all the time.   At times like these, women journalists balance the responsibilities of motherhood and work with the help from the family, friends and colleagues.   Maksuda Aziz, a mobile journalism specialist at Prothom Alo, said there were difficulties at first but things became easier when her partner started sharing the responsibilities of rearing children and household chores.   For some women journalists, being allowed to ‘take it easy’ and working less when they become pregnant is not the answer.
