About: gradually extend paternity leave up to 30 days
Mr. President, I begin my speech by making an appeal to those who think paternity leave is not important; an appeal to those who think the responsibility for the birth lies solely with the mother; an appeal to those who have been telling me, for some weeks now, that 5 days is enough, 30 days is too much, and that there is no need for more days, and that it would be better to extend the mother's leave, but that the father does not need to be present.
Why it was classified this way · 95% confidence Appeals for more days and contrasts 5 days versus 30 days as insufficient.

About: gradually extend paternity leave up to 30 days
We need to listen to those mothers who are desperate because they are tired; because they are alone; because they are facing depression; because they are still in the hospital; because they are dealing with an illness; because they still cannot manage to do it on their own; and because they should not have to do it alone.

About: gradually extend paternity leave up to 30 days
I want to ask you to cast a vote for the children who have not yet been born, for those who deserve to have the father, in the first days, to build a bond; a vote for the fathers who have no idea how they are going to learn to do this, who are terrified, who are also insecure, and who, often, are aggressive because they do not know how to deal with that feeling.

I could have listed all the data showing this will be better for women's mental health, that it will be better for men's mental health, that it will be more profitable for companies, that the mother will be able to return more easily, that the family will be stronger against crime, against drugs, against everything the world will put out there.

However, today is no longer about data, it is not about financial impact, but about a choice that each and every one will have to make when recording their vote, whether to give this vote of confidence to Brazilian families, to the children, to early childhood, whether to give this vote for women or whether to be guided by what you have seen so far and by your prejudices.
