In Peru, pregnant mothers and fathers of newborns have the right to maternity and paternity leave, respectively. Mothers have 98 days of rest before and after birth. Meanwhile, fathers are entitled to four days off. Through the review of secondary sources, the present essay aimed to analyze maternity and paternity leave policies from the five principles for the evaluation of policies from the family perspective (Bogenschneider & Little, 2012), as well as from the gender approach (Butler and Fraser, 2000). With this, it seeks to understand to what extent these policies are effective in the search for equal opportunities and gender equity, so that this document contributes with arguments for the construction of policies that allow achieving gender equality.
