    Maternity and parental benefits legislation impacts on one of the most important pillars in society as it plays a role in family life, the rights of women, and gender equality. It will be beneficial to any country to benchmark its own legislation in this regard against international standards and norms, as one cannot just assume that national legislation is in line with international standards.
