New film calls for a 'new chapter' for single parents
Created: 21/03/2025
News/Events Category: Children and Families
A powerful new animation was created to mark Single Parents Day (21 March 2025).
The animation Time For A New Chapter was produced by Media Co-op in collaboration with experts from the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The film reflects the history and lived experience of single parents, showcasing the pride and strength in single parenthood, and addressing the common misconceptions that lone parents face.
It also highlights the diverse paths to single parenthood, celebrates the resilience and pride of single parents, and challenges common misconceptions.
The film calls on governments to help write a 'new chapter' for single parents by developing policies that better support single parent families, including fairer social security, affordable childcare, secure housing, financial stability, and greater respect. Viewers are also encouraged to share their views by visiting https://vopfn.org/timeforchange
The project was developed by Glasgow Caledonia University and Trinity College Dublin, and funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council.
