Demand to provide eggs, milk & fruit to children in mid-day meal & in Anganwadis. Need for crèches was underlined by women working in unorganised sector. Preeti of VPS basti shared how women have no choice but to leave kids unsupervised, locked from outside, when they go to work.
Quality child care is not only a basic Child Right but also a basic Women’s Right. State sponsored quality child care is the norm in all progressive nations.
EWS women who don’t have that option have to bear major part of the child care burden while doing their jobs; struggling really hard in the process. Not to mention how badly children’s safety is compromised and a critical learning phase of their life squandered.
quality child care. Families today need double income of parents. However women, who are in comparatively lower paying jobs, have to fall out of the work force to do child care; as quality child care is unaffordable and out of reach for vast majority.
