A local mom’s Facebook post about her experience in a Portland Marshalls store has gone viral and caused outrage among nursing mothers.
Karina Gomez posted a photo on the Marshalls Facebook page that showed her sitting on a toilet seat and nursing her baby daughter inside the Cascade Station store.
Gomez wrote the following:
“Yes, this is me sitting on a toilet feeding my sweet, Katalina Maria, after I was denied my right to breastfeed where I wanted to by a #marshalls employee. I was denied to breastfeed in a dressing room, instead I was directed to a bathroom stall to breastfeed. What a way to treat breastfeeding customers, shaming them for breastfeeding, making them feel embarrassed that you need to feed your child. I am angry, upset, but more so humiliated. My rights have been violated.”
