Aperio was founded by a group of parents who wanted to improve the situation of the childbirth in the Czech Republic. We later expanded our activities and began to address a wide range of parenting services with the goal of increasing the prestige of parenthood in society. We also focuse on encouraging employers to make changes towards the equal opportunities for men and women on the labour market. Our key activities for employers: - trainings, workshops, facilitating the focus groups, roundtables for employers - audits of gender equality - free informational website for companies focused on equal opportunities Our activities for parents: - free online, phone and one-to-one legal counselling for parents - courses and seminars on parenting - free on-line Maternity Hospital Guide - support services for single parents
