Despite progress in workplace policies, too many fathers in 2025 still face stigma, financial barriers, and lack of organisational support when it comes to taking paternity leave or time off to care for their children.
At the same time, mothers continue to shoulder the majority of caring responsibilities, with significant impacts on their mental health, career progression, and pay. These inequalities feed directly into the gender pay gap and limit opportunities for women in the workplace. Addressing the barriers faced by dads is a crucial step towards creating fairer, more supportive workplaces for everyone.
This campaign will spotlight these barriers, elevate dads’ voices, and push for stronger paternity leave rights and supportive workplace cultures.
