because it is maternity and paternity

although they are these are events

very different is there a certain

similarity when we start to

talk about it and we get more and more

is placed in boxes and these

little boxes are saying a little the way

of how we should be

although we are not very different good

motherhood mothers have to Brendon

take care

mothers are magical because they

turn the time into 24 hours hard

more

they are the savior of supermoms and

parents are those who express fear and

weakness

are always the protectors the brave

the strong those who do not cry are

the funniest family heads

only this is not good for anyone

When we start putting the

people and motherhood and paternity in

We are labeling the

people and leaving them losing

opportunity to be more free when it is

we start thinking about it

about motherhood

we find that one plus one equals

to 3 that the logic of the mathematics of life

and in my case it was like this

This is my family, this is my milestone.

husband this is my son and drink

when we found ourselves pregnant

we decided to build this process

together and there on this journey

construction

we made a very

important in this process

We did not want to know the sex of our

baby and then we’ll get the first

problem because why

color of clothes I’m going to give your child or

for your daughter

It does, but what if it’s a boy and I

pink

What is the problem, and if it’s a boy and I?

should this of which the problem most boys

lusa the dress the gender identity

My son’s daughter will not go

be defined by the color of clothing he

uses

but this is a problem is a problem

for people then before my

son born

he already had a problem and an issue

and you have already stopped.

to think that a simple decision like

This is how we define what color

clothes we are going to give a baby can

define very meaningful things for

our life and here comes our second

decision

I got the opportunity and the

privilege to stay seven months

maternity leave and there is my husband

who is very much a father and in society

we live

the five days are sufficient for the

men understand what they are going to

to understand the whole life

And then you wonder why not men?

are prepared that the donate of caring

of the women in us and then you

thinking of what you can do with

five days

most wanted to be a father, I said

What a nice opportunity , there it is.

together we made the decision to leave

of work and stay a year of leave

paternity

cool, it’s beautiful

only that’s not how people

understood when we take this

decision I went back to work the

people were asking me that good

What is your son now with my husband?

but he had no one to leave him

So he ‘s with my husband, but

and it was not one or two or three

people

many people said that and there it is

interesting that we do not think anymore

active parenthood only has benefits

active parents are more likely to

train children to build processes

of sociability of children

to build safer children more

and less likely to have this

view of women places in places

of men

in the end it ‘s good for everything

the world because when parents can

building healthier relationships with

the family

they gain much more affection and much

more love

but if with all this because the

people with the continuums living it

when we make this decision a

Marco had many opportunities to leave

with modric and there was very interesting

what people on the street that we never

had seen in life felt in the right

to remove the modric from his lap because a

baby on a man’s lap is dangerous

Imagine a person I’ve never seen in

life

doing this or for example on the bus

he mentioned several situations of this

our kissing and showing affection with

modric our beautiful your daughter is not

my son not to be so such

thing is putting a

limitations and barriers where they do not

should exist because the 36 associates

to motherhood caring for care and home

are not associated with paternity and

at the same time the three

has associated with it are paterninade

principal provider and non-employer

are associated with motherhood and

people start teaching girls

that the girls are carers who

the girls have to be beautiful and the people

teaches the boys that they have to

be the boss that they have to be leaders

they have to be strong and at the same time

time people judge people by

other choices they made that

flee to these standards

so that I had stayed seven months of

maternity leave and is now

building back to my career

professional

but our denatures is because you

left his son alone

where it has already been seen and not only

people but as I often was

take with my own betrays

by my own thoughts

Thinking, shall I? I did the

right choices

Is that what I should have?

It must be that I should have

built a different path and should

spending more time with my son and

at the same time judging the milestones

choices he had made of staying in

home then come home to me

because you did it that way because it ‘s the

My way of doing there , do not you?

but why did not you do such a thing?

We complain that you did not do it there.

So, how should I have done?

Why are you asking me how I feel?

should have done

It’s never good because

same time we learn

macho behaviors and people

reproduces often without realizing it

not good for anyone is not good and

It is not good because it imprisons us

Instead of releasing it , it only started to

happen when we started to be

very clear and very open between us and

say the following I will not have to

I do not want to choose between being

mother and be a professional

and then I started to create

strategies in my work for

find ways to be closer

of my son

so what I decided to do together

because this is also a decision of

marry tall people

breastfeeding and the

are not processes

individual are processes that people

decide together and we decided together

which at least if modric I wish I would

increase up to two years

How do you do training until

two years when you travel 15 days

month

Good, then it’s good, then it’s going to happen.

to travel with me and modric for almost two

years traveled with me in all my

work trips

so what is interesting is ours

cool, right? Because this is taking your

nanny and there the milestone not because if I

I create processes where I have to expand

the number of people

This is making it difficult for me to go alone with

It’s so modest, and a very thing.

interesting is that I found a lot of

more people helping in the cities where

I came up with the barriers that the

You always think or is seeking his

I work with the very heavy theme I

work and coping with violence

against women

I work with people who often

are institutions where violence is

legitimized and I was never afraid to

take rodrigo in these spaces

then spaces with institutions

police meetings with ministers of

status because if I can not get

this opportunity to build relations where

the child can live

we are doing something about

very wrong and this was very cool was

simple

absolutely not well accepted

normally

now people are asking me why

You decided to do this because you

decided to expose his son since

he did not have a chance to say that he

I could say no, no, why did you do it?

I did it because I think I believe

so much that the more you have chance

to promote transformations

the greater is your responsibility

I held and still hold a position of

management and this gives me the chance to

question some models because I know

that somehow you heard because

I know that most women

you have no chance to do this because I

I know that if I do not bring this

possibility maybe other women

can not create because I believe that

stories change stories and when I

a story to my story I help

influence other mothers and fathers to

different relationships and it is

This is what I believe I believe the

people can build is not

simple but it is important and this

It happens institutional changes such as

case of the companies, the case is

organizations do not happen by

a definition of the institution who

makes changes are people and this is

an important thing to think about and

here is an example that I bring to show

the power that this has the following this

year the institute of economic research

applied research on

employability of women and men and

increased incidence of violence

domestic and then an interesting thing

that they found that the following

the more women go to

world of work is the incidence of

of domestic violence

Until then, nothing new.

Why did we build it?

models where men are heads

this place is not for women and if

women come to occupy this place

our society and men are not

prepared to deal with this world and

there is often a way to deal with

this is the form of violence

now a very interesting thing is the

following the increase in unemployment in

men

different from what people imagine

reduces domestic violence because it

there the hypotheses that this research

lifted

is that when man has the

possibility and the need to live

other types of masculinities that is

beneficial for everyone

when man does not have the power of

money that is the power that causes

he uses violence against women

it builds over time new

ways of exercising this masculinity and

he leaves those little boxes that say

where men have to be and where the

women have what it is and when that

happens

everybody now gets the big question

it’s the following if this is good

if we only have benefits doing this

because we still can not

change the way companies and how

organizations structure their model

because they break paradigms and

build new models is super

important everyone wins

It’s not easy, it’s expensive and it’s

costly for the first

people who decide to make these breaks

paradigm

This is very important and it is

one and each of us think like the

people can do it in our lives

rethink all all

behaviors that we reproduce and

often reproduce, do not

ask why we do things

this way so that we can

construct new models and once the

people do it in our lives

It’s important that we can do it.

this to others and you can say

good how did we start

continued this journey I keep fighting

the end of violence against

women against visible violence and

invisible

the milestone goes with this experience and

taking this so that other men

can be released

in this model of masculinity that

imprisoned instead of bringing us

happiness and modric

teaching every day

and we’re left wondering what the

most important thing that people

need to teach him is not that he

has to be strong is that it has to be

caring and sensitive and vulnerable

because vulnerable

people think being vulnerable is to be

weak and in fact being vulnerable is

being creative is being transformative is

be able to deal with what you have to

easier for more difficulty

This is our role and now I do not

marco and modric

we followed our journey with one more

new member is the family member and now

linked

You will learn and learn to

build this new journey of another

way

thank you guys
