Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/8268The present scientific article aims to analyze the disparity between maternity and paternity leave in Brazil and its influence on the overburdening of female labor. The research is based on a qualitative approach, with a bibliographic review of feminist theorists and articles produced by Brazilian academics, alongside an analysis of the legislation governing parental leave. The conclusion of this study argues that extending and equalizing parental leave periods, combined with foundational education that includes gender literacy, are essential steps in reducing gender inequality. Such measures would bring about a radical transformation, allowing women to move away from performing multiple labor shifts. Therefore, the article proposes the adoption of 180- day parental leave for both parents, to be taken simultaneously, along with the implementation of institutionalized gender education from early childhood education as potential means to ensure gender equality and mitigate the exploitation of female labor in both domestic and professional spheres.Acesso AbertoLicenças-parentaisTrabalho reprodutivoDesigualdade de gêneroParental leavesReproductive workGender inequalityCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::DIREITOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - ArtigoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
