British dads are set to strike demanding improved paternity rights as a response to the UK’s short two-week leave policy, deemed inadequate. Organised by the Dad Shift, the protest will occur on June 11 to advocate for better paternity pay and leave for fathers and non-birthing partners. Campaigners criticize Labour’s Employment Rights Bill for not ensuring statutory pay, risking further inequality for new mothers. Public sentiment favors increased parental involvement, but current statistics show significant disparity in time spent with children between fathers and mothers.
The UK's rubbish paternity leave system means from the day our kids arrive, most fathers are forced to make an impossible choice between providing financially or being present.
It's time to be more open about the struggles dads face. We have needs too.
