Elen explains why we demonstrated outside the Senedd today.
Families deserve better. As Elen says, we currently have the worst paternity leave offer across Europe – meaning the responsibility of childcare too often falls to women, widening the gender pay gap.
We need better paternity leave, better flexible working, and more flexible and affordable childcare.
We hope both the Welsh and UK Governments have listened to parents across the country.

Elen Notley yn esbonio pam wnaethom brotestio ar y tu allan i’r Senedd heddiw.
Mae teuluoedd yn haeddu gwell. Fel y dywed Elen, ar hyn o bryd mae gennym y cynnig absenoldeb tadolaeth gwaethaf ledled Ewrop – sy’n golygu bod y cyfrifoldeb gofal plant yn aml yn cwympo ar fenywod, gan ehangu'r bwlch cyflog rhywedd.
Mae arnom angen absenoldeb tadolaeth gwell, gwaith hyblyg gwell, a gofal plant mwy hyblyg a fforddiadwy.
Gobeithiwn fod Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU wedi gwrando ar rieni ledled y wlad.
