Expertise of legislations (Section 21 of Children’s Act) and policies(Guardianship) must train professional social workers. Importance of co-parenting should be introduced at anti-natal classes. Social media to promote programs on importance of coo-parenting. Our society need to change attitude on Gender difference as it is social constructed. |
