"Why can't your wife?" Stories

Have you been knocked back, discouraged or made to feel guilty for asking for parental leave or flexible work to care for your family?

The AMWU is collecting workers’ stories to build a clear picture of the barriers parents face, including assumptions that caring responsibilities should fall to women.

By sharing your experience, you’ll help us show why change is needed and advocate for workplaces that support all parents to share caring responsibilities.
