TN MLA Bats For Paternity Leave, Asks Assembly To Hold Debate thenewsminute.com

This petition, which seeks to ensure that equal parenting is the norm, comes at a time when an infant’s care is considered to be primarily a mother’s job. She bears the baby, so she has to look after it too. That leaves her tired and sleepless, often forcing her to compromise on her career and health. The initial imbalance in parenting follows the mother all through her life.
