@YouthAliveKe @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2 @YouthAliveKeReduced Labor Market Participation:
The time spent on unpaid care work can lead to women being less available for or unable to participate in the labor market, hindering their ability to earn income and build economic security.

Unpaid care and domestic work have affected women's economic participation in various ways. What do you think some of these ways are?#TimeToCare #IWD2025 #Investincare @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2

@YouthAliveKe @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2 3. Smart Home Technology: Smart devices can automate many daily tasks, like adjusting lighting, controlling temperature, or managing appliances. Electronic machines that operate faster to save time for other responsibilities, it helps and reduces the work load

[Daniel Shirima @danielshirima01]

@YouthAliveKe @oxfaminKE @OxfamCanada @GAC_Corporate @kudheiha @MinistryOfLabo2 I’ve seen incredible impact in men stepping up in caregiving roles influenced by the male engagement sessions by YAK. Training fathers and sons to share responsibilities lightens the load. We must normalize care work as a shared duty, not a gendered one.
