Background
We call on policymakers to revise parental leave legislation immediately! Extend paid maternity leave and offer equitable paternity leave to ensure all families can thrive. Prioritize legislative efforts that promote equal opportunities and healthy family dynamics, encouraging an inclusive policy that reflects the fundamental needs of a modern society.
Join us in advocating for a future where no family has to choose between economic security and spending vital early moments with their newborns.
