Parental leave or maternity leave?

Several discussions on the conference is about the social situation for female journalists. Children still seem to be a women's issue in many parts of the world. I can't help being proud of the Nordic Model with a parental leave instead of maternity leave with mandatory fathers leave. Children is a responsibility for both parents, regardless of gender.

Proud Nordic group: Swedish conference guest Maria Edstrom (me), Icelandic delegate Steinunn Stefánsdóttir, deputy editor of Fréttabladid and Norwegian Kjersti Sortland, managing editor of Verdens Gang.
