Description
This breakfast byte webinar was hosted on international fathers’ day to put the spotlight on men and care through a parenting equality lens.
The organisation Share The Care Foundation in Poland recently organised the second edition of their “Equal at home – Equal at work – A win-win for all” campaign on the occasion of the entry into force of the EU work-life balance directive in Poland. Their campaign aims to spark discussions and insights into whether the directive has indeed empowered individuals to achieve greater gender equality in the work and family life.
MenEngage Europe (a global network of civil society organisations working with men and boys for gender equality) responded to the Polish actions from their more global perspective, highlighting some key challenges and successes in relation to parenting equality.
The webinar was an opportunity to take a closer look at legal and policy tools, as well as company tools, support services and campaigns to support parenting equality, aiming to inspire other countries to support men in their caring roles and encourage take-up of family leaves.
