GIVE ME A BREAK is a project in favor of parental leave – an extended paid leave available to mothers, fathers or caregivers after the birth of a child. The idea is that childcare should be shared by men and women, as well as societies. Parental leave has positive effects on children's development, the division of domestic work and gender equality.
