President of the Fathers Association, Rhondell Feeles, is calling for extended paternity leave, warning that policies geared only toward women will continue to exclude and marginalise fathers.
His comments came after former UNC Senator Jayanti Lutchmedial-Ramdial called for long-term support for working mothers during a sermon at the Trinity Presbyterian Church in Gasparillo last weekend.
Speaking to Guardian Media, Feeles said, “I understand the danger of requesting policy to be drafted in the benefit of mothers, opposed to having it drafted in the benefit of parents.”
