MenCare launched the State of the World’s Fathers (SOWF) report in June 2015 in 10 cities around the world, and the report as a global advocacy tool has already begun to see results.

A bill for 30 days of paid leave for fathers was introduced in Brazil’s Congress this summer. In the United States, conclusions from SOWF were shared with the authors of a Washington, DC bill that proposes 16 weeks of paid family leave for district residents and workers.
