Rhondall Feeles, president of the Fathers Association of Trinidad and Tobago (FATT), has issued a call to the Government and the labour movement to legislate substantial paternity leave of eight to 12 weeks, arguing that meaningful parental rights for men are long overdue.
Feeles was speaking at a collaborative “Hike and Plant” event in Williamsville, where volunteers, young couples and families planted more than 100 seedlings in a symbolic legacy-building exercise.
He highlighted what he described as a longstanding gap in labour rights for fathers in T&T, noting that despite men being part of the workforce for more than a century, their legal rights as parents remain limited.
