A present role in parenting improves fathers' opportunities to create a strong relationship with their child, as well as supports child’s right to two parents.

• Greater understanding of the positive effects of parental leave fathers have taken especially to children, fathers and the relationships between them.
• Strengthen the activities / structures that support development co-operative parenting and the use of fathers’ parental leave.
