The Fatherhood Institute lobbies for father-inclusive policy. We’ve been instrumental in securing statutory rights to paternity leave and shared parental leave, and do all we can to argue the case for policy that supports involved fatherhood. But we receive no funding for this work. We hope you find this free PDF useful; if so, please consider making a donation.
