Despite the rather significant successes of the feminist movement in recent decades, there are still a few women among the heads of government of the countries. And therefore, when Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, gave birth to her first child, all the newspapers in the world were full of news about this event and guesses how she would now combine two such responsible matters - caring for a baby and managing government.
Jacinda Ardern is now 37 years old and her first child. On the morning of June 20, she went with her boyfriend to the hospital, and in the late afternoon, at 4:45 pm, a little girl weighing 3.31 kg was born. Jacinda's boyfriend - and this is Clark Gayford, the host of an Australian fishing program - all this time was with his beloved.
After Jacinda Ardern announced through her Instagram that the birth went well and they are happy to welcome their baby, the press was interested in the question of how everything was organized and how is the Prime Minister going to combine motherhood with such a serious and responsible job?
On the first question, Morgan Goffrey, a local activist and politician, wrote: ""
To the second question, Jacinda, who was elected Prime Minister last fall, answered for herself: “I am not the first woman who has to deal with several things at once. And I am not the first woman to give birth to a child when she is on duty; There are actually very, very many such women."
Jacinda now assumes that her parental leave will be only six weeks, after which she will return to full performance of her duties. And during these six weeks she will be replaced by the head of the New Zealand First Party, Winston Peters, with whom the Prime Minister will constantly keep in touch to stay informed.
Jacinda Ardern became the second head of government in history to become a mother while in office. In 1990, Benazir Bhutto, then Prime Minister of Pakistan, found herself in the same position. It's funny that Jacinda's daughter was born on the birthday of Benazir Bhutto herself.
