Tabata Amaral: For that, I need to give a brief history.
Tabata Amaral: During the Constituent Assembly, it was decided that Brazil, as the advanced country we dreamed it would be, would have paternity leave.
At that time, it was not for the Constitution to specify how long that leave would be.
Tabata Amaral: Therefore, it was established that, until Congress approved a law regulating paternity leave, the period would be 5 days.
Tabata Amaral: Unfortunately, 35 years have passed and this National Congress, over decades, has been unable to give an answer to society.
