HINDI naniniwala si Anne Hathaway na nakatatanggap ng sapat na suporta ang mga magulang sa Amerika.

Pagkaraan ng halos isang taon simula nang maging first-time mom, nagpahayag ang Oscar-winning actress tungkol sa hindi sapat na parental leave sa US at suporta sa mga nagtatrabahong ina sa kanyang talumpati sa International Women’s Day event na ginanap sa United Nations headquarters sa New York City nitong Miyerkules.

Inihayag ng Les Miserables star, 34, na ang kanyang pagiging ina ng kanyang anak na si Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman ang nagbukas sa kanyang mga mata para imungkahi ang pagbabago sa patakaran – at ibinahagi rin niya ang pinagdaanan ng kanyang ina na si Kate McCauley Hathaway sa loob ng halos 30-taon bilang stay-at-home na ina.

“In late March 2016, I became a parent for the first time,” ani Hathaway, na nakasuot ng pula para sa okasyon sa kanyang pakikiisa sa “Day Without a Woman” protest. “I remember the indescribable — and as I understand it pretty universal — experience of holding my week-old son and feeling my priorities change on a cellular level. I remember I experienced a shift in consciousness that gave me the ability to maintain my love of career and also cherish something else — someone else — so much, much more.”

Sinabi ng aktres na isang linggo pa lang si Jonathan sumagi sa isip niya ang ang patakaran ng Amerika sa maternity leave. “American women are currently entitled to 12 weeks unpaid leave. American men are entitled to nothing.”

Sabi pa ni Anne, “That information landed differently for me when one week after my son’s birth, I could barely walk.

That information landed differently when I was getting to know a human who was completely dependent on my husband and I for everything. When I was dependent on my husband for most things. And when we were relearning everything we thought we knew about our family and our relationship. It landed differently.”

Ibinahagi rin ni Anne, na naging U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador noong Hunyo, na bagamat mayroong 12 weeks off ang kababaihan, “One in four American women go back to work two weeks after giving birth because they can’t afford to take off any more time than that. That’s 25 percent of American women. Equally disturbing, women who can afford to take a full 12 weeks often don’t because it will mean incurring a motherhood penalty. Meaning they will be perceived as less dedicated to their job and will be passed over for promotions and other career advancement.”
