The two referendums that will be held tomorrow are related to family and care issues. The first proposal seeks to expand the definition of a family to include "other durable relationships." This means that individuals who have been in long-term, committed relationships with someone other than their biological or adoptive parents would also be considered part of the family unit. This change is intended to recognize and support the diverse range of family structures that exist in society today.
The second proposal aims to remove reference to a woman's duties in the home and add new text to acknowledge care given by other family members. This change is intended to recognize the important role that all family members, regardless of gender, play in providing care and support for one another. The new text acknowledges the contributions made by fathers, grandparents, siblings, and other family members in caring for their loved ones.
It's worth noting that these referendums are not binding, but rather serve as a way for voters to express their opinions on these issues. If either proposal is passed, it would likely lead to changes in laws and policies related to family and care. However, the ultimate impact of these referendums will depend on how they are implemented and enforced by government officials and other stakeholders.
