Show Notes

South Africa introduces a new parental leave policy, allocating four months and ten days for all parents, regardless of gender. This interim measure aims to promote equality beyond traditional gender roles. However, challenges arise for parents with disabilities, particularly women who may require more time for recovery and adaptation. A proposed framework suggests tailored support and flexible application of leave periods to address these disparities.
