Tabata Amaral: Mr. President, considering the favorable impact this will have on the mental health of fathers and mothers, on the strengthening of these families, so that, in fact, society respects families and truly embraces this dignity — those initial days of early childhood — we need to vote on this bill and give this response to society.
Tabata Amaral: I want to thank Copai — Coalition for Paternity Leave — and all of you who have been fighting by my side for many years. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, Mr. President. I would like to offer some comments and, above all, a call regarding the vote we had here today, which may seem small but is in fact historic.
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.
