Viet Nam takes a bold step to protect motherhood.
The new Luật Dân số extends maternity leave to 7 months for second births and adds paternity leave. A move toward rights-based, evidence-informed policy.

This reform aligns with global evidence, including research in @FrontiersIn frontiersin.org/journals/pub…. The article highlights that reproductive and infant care are forms of sexed care work.
Supporting this work is essential to realize rights, responsibilities, and realities.

From evidence to action.
At Uptake, we help partners turn knowledge and experience into strategies that drive policy and social change.
Because knowledge only matters when it leads to impact.

The 5 A’s of Uptake:
Awareness → Access → Absorption → Application → Adaptation
A simple way to describe how learning and evidence move into action — and how we tailor the intensity of our technical assistance from dissemination to mentorship.
