Make paternity leave longer

Petition Details

Men are only entitled to 2 weeks of paid paternity leave whereas women are entitled to 32 weeks paid. Although it is understandable that women need this time, men should also have the right to bond with their child. The first few months are crucial for a child to bond with BOTH of their parents!!

Additional Information

Help me give fathers the chance to bond with their children too and sign this petition to get paternity leave to 8 weeks of paid leave.
