Parents are looking for, emotional campaign for the conciliation
"How much time do you spend with your children? It does not depend on you, it does not depend on them, you have to keep fighting for a real conciliation. conciliation It causes stress, guilt. It takes us to a society without a future. "This concludes this campaign launched by the Club de Malasmadres, with the hashtag #yonorenuncio, through two channels: the video on YouTube and a campaign on Change.org asking for more incentives fiscal to the continuous day.
54 minutes is the free time of a working mother
The campaign for conciliation, which is about to achieve the 300,000 signatures that will be sent to the political leaders of Spain, begins with a worrying piece of information to reflect: "54 minutes a day, that is the" free time "that a working woman it has an average of one day ". At the same time, he invites us to ask ourselves a question: "Does a society like that have a future?"
"What kind of society do we go to if we continue like this?" continues the writing of this club of thousands of mothers throughout Spain. They themselves respond: we are going to "a society with health problems derived from bad time management", to a society in which "the woman is penalized for being a mother". A society in which women will continue to assume "greater total workload" and in which they "have to give up their professional development, take care of their children or even give up being mothers".
It is not a very hopeful future. Therefore, these mothers are clear: "Now is the time to ask all parties and the government to commit to tax incentives to small and medium enterprises that establish continuous days for all employees with flexible time of entry and exit "
Fathers and mothers 'disappeared'
The protagonist of this video decides to "look" for his father and mother, who by not showing signs of life, are declared "disappeared" by his son. The child, in the absence of the father figures, decides to place two posters announcing the disappearance of his father and mother while feeling disconsolate with these ads that arouse the concern of passersby.
The pedestrians look at this scene in astonishment and with a face of circumstance, they are interested in the child who denounces the "disappearance" of their parents. While this scene is happening, the video launches a question that makes us think: "How much time do you spend with your child?" A question that tries to make think about if we are really paying the attention that the most important of the house deserve.
The same video gives us the answer, in Spain the parents dedicate only two hours and four minutes a day to be with their children. A small figure if you take into account the small number of activities that could be done in this short period of time. At this point, the story continues and the first child is joined by many others who also decide to announce the disappearance of their fathers and mothers, for this they paper the streets of their city.
While they show the large number of ads claiming the absence of these people, the video gives us another piece of information: "1,131,300 of fathers and mothers' disappear" every day ". Before ending, we are enumerated the number of problems arising from the lack of conciliation such as stress or guilt and encourages parents and mothers to continue the struggle for this necessary time with their children under the slogan "I I do not quit".
Campaign for family and work-life balance
Without a doubt, the best thing about fatherhood is to enjoy the little ones in the house. See how they grow, be present during their discoveries and feel proud with them when they are successful. All this makes having a child the best gift that life can give us. Things as simple as having a snack with the children or watching a movie by their side, nothing compares to the feeling of accompanying the kids.
However, the new times make it increasingly difficult: to spend these wonderful moments with our children becomes an impossible mission. The schedules and the few facilities that are given from the companies make the conciliation a chimera in many occasions. A report of the fUndación Más Familia reveals that approximately 61% of companies do not include a conciliation policy.
Those who suffer most from this lack of family time are the ones who have the least blame, the children. They are the youngest of the house who see how their desires to do activities with their parents are broken by this impossible conciliation. This is the case of the protagonists of this video, who, worried about the paternal absence, decide to remedy this problem.
