敬自由 / 性別平權
過去的台灣社會或許有男主外女主內的概念
但越來越多男性選擇以育嬰假方式陪伴小孩成長
.
在台灣可以申請領8成津貼的育嬰留停6個月
而整個社會的氛圍
也讓伴侶雙方能有機會協調、自由選擇
.
外交部在今年聯合國推案影片《敬 自由》中
我們就拍攝了這樣一位年輕爸爸
.
『在這裡 各種想法進步得很快
我和太太擁有完全一樣的選擇跟機會
因為想陪孩子長大
所以我跟公司請了半年育嬰假
他開口說的第一個單字就是爸爸
面對同樣重要的家庭與事業
我們一樣有力量』
.
若聯合國的重要任務之一是要讓國家尊重人民的權利
台灣的夥伴價值值得聯合國重視

Ingrained gender roles have taken a heavy toll on previous generations in #Taiwan and the greater Asia region. Many brilliant women were forced out of their careers and had to undertake the lion’s share of childcare duties, while men were denied the opportunity to be the primary care-giver to their children. Things are changing here in Taiwan and the government is trying to make this change easier, allowing both men and women to take up to six months parental leave to care for their child, with subsidies available allowing them to collect around 80% of their salary.
In the recent promotional short, "To Freedom," as part of MOFA’s #UNGA76 campaign, we feature the story of one such young parent, who represents many young men taking advantage of the recent changes to parental leave allowance:
“It’s quite progressive here. My wife and I have the same choices and opportunities. As I wanted to spend time with my child, I took six months parental leave from work and so his first word was “Daddy!” Family and career carry equal importance and require equal strength.”
If the UN states part of its mission as encouraging countries around the world to respect the rights of their people, Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference.
