Situação da Paternidade no Brasil 2019: Hora de Agir

Situação da Paternidade no Brasil 2019: Hora de Agir is the second report of its kind in the country, which is part of the Estado da Paternidade no Mundo initiative, conducted as part of the MenCare Global Fatherhood Campaign. The second Brazilian report is intended to update the first report on the State of Fatherhood in Brazil and includes excerpts from the global Situação da Paternidade no Mundo: Hora de Agir report, produced by Equimundo (Formerly Promundo-US), Sonke Gender Justice, Save the Children, and the MenEngage Alliance, and released in 2017.

This report also incorporates the results of Brazil’s pioneering research, Ajudando os pais a cuidar, produced in conjunction with Unilever’s Dove Men+ Care, to understand why some parents choose not to take paternity leave and because so many fail to get as involved in raising their sons and daughters as they would like.

This report draws attention to what effectively needs to be done so that more and more men, parents, and institutions engage in the discussion and practice building healthy parenting.
