It's not just about dads - paternity leave is political

It's not just about dads - paternity leave is political

The UK has the worst paternity leave offering in Europe and the wider implication of this affects everyone, whether you have kids or not.


Today we spoke to Alex Lloyd-Hunter from The Dad Shift and Rebecca Horne from Pregnant Then Screwed about their joint campaign ‘UK Paternity Leave is a Mother F**KER’


We spoke about how the UK’s paternity leave offering is disastrous for mums, dads and kids - but also the devastating wider cultural impact it has on the gender pay gap, discrimination and the workforce.


We have a window of political opportunity now as the government is undertaking a review of parental leave. Get engaged with The Dad Shift and Pregnant Then Screwed to see how you can help make a change.

SIGN THE OPEN LETTER - The Dad Shift are calling on the new Secretary of State for Business Peter Kyle MP to prioritise making a paternity leave policy that's fit for the 21st century


The government have also opened a new consultation called 'Make Work Pay' looking at building enhanced dismissal protections for pregnant women and new mothers. Pregnant Then Screwed will be sharing information on how to engage on their pages in the coming weeks.
