The Czech Presidency was against extending the duration of maternity leave to 20 weeks and it was against including paternity leave, which is essential to ensure that family responsibilities are shared between men and women and therefore to promote gender equality.
Preşedinţia cehă s-a declarat împotriva prelungirii concediului de maternitate la 20 de săptămâni şi împotriva includerii concediului de paternitate, care este esenţial pentru a asigura partajarea responsabilităţilor familiale între bărbaţi şi femei şi, deci, pentru a promova egalitatea de gen.
