Pregnancy

Starting a family is not hetero-normative. Non-traditional family models, rainbow families and solo motherhood are also on the rise in the DACH region.

However, the challenges for non-traditional families are many times greater – both legally and financially – and there is therefore an increased need for counselling for employees on their family building journey.

At Onuava, we support all forms of family building and work with modern employers who want to offer an inclusive family building benefit.
