Strong fathers: Together against injustices in the family system!

Strong fathers: Together against injustices in the family system!

In Germany, more and more fathers and mothers face the challenge of reconciling their career with responsibility for the family. The association "We Fathers" recently emphasized that the decline in income, which is often created by taking over unpaid care work, does not only affect the biological gender. It is often social role attributions that can disadvantage both mothers and fathers and lead to poverty in old age. These observations underline the urgency to break through stereotypical role models and promote flexible working models, such as Work (part) Time models , as the association demands.

The Association of Stark Fathers also actively committed itself to the rights of fathers and their families. This organization offers support and advice for fathers in difficult situations, especially after separations, when legal disputes are often on the agenda. Fathers are often faced with questions such as access rights, maintenance or the behavior of the youth welfare office and often feel left alone in their role. With a network of fathers from all over Germany, the association not only wants to offer help, but also provide a variety of resources to help other fathers in stressful life situations, as report on their website: Starke Father e.V. .

The fight against gender stereotypes

Both clubs agree that it is time to question the social ideas about gender roles and to take new ways. The focus is on measures such as mandatory fathers' leave and the introduction of automatic pension reports to ensure that both parents are given the same opportunities in the professional world and the compatibility of family and work regardless of their gender. These changes are crucial to promote equality and reduce pressure in the family system.
