Toda mulher merece ter um tempo que seja só dela.

Women have a triple workload. She has to take care of her husband and take care of the children. Then she goes to work, then she comes back, takes care of her husband and children. She is the first to get up and the last to go to sleep. She knows that on Saturdays and Sundays she works, works, works. That's why we're amending this to end the 6-on- 1-off schedule, to give women a day off so they can sit down and say, "I'm going to relax, I'm going to read something, I'm going to watch something, I'm going to visit a relative, I'm going to go out." You know, I'm going to call my friends over to play cards, to play anything, you know? so she can have a day to herself. It would be so beautiful if the man shared the marital chores with the woman— cleaning the bathroom, making the bed, changing the child, helping to make food for the child.
