So good to see this acknowledgement of the value of care! @equimundo_org @MenCareGlobal @MenCareSA @SonkeTogether

UN Women welcomes the establishment of the International Day of Care and Support (29 Oct) by the General Assembly.

Most unpaid carework is undertaken by women and girls, and its recognition by Member States is crucial for progress on gender equality and sustainable development.

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

The #StateoftheWorldsFathers 2023 report shows that while fathers are doing more childcare, they still do markedly less than women. Let's change this.

Investing in care work is critical for sustainable development and #GenderEquality.

[Wessel van den Berg @Wespresso]

Wonderful to see! All the best for the event! @MenCareGlobal @MenCareSA @SonkeTogether @equimundo_org

[Financial Alliance for Women @FAforWomen]

#MenCare mission is to promote men to be allies in supporting women’s social and economic equality, by taking on more responsibility for unpaid work. True equality will only be reached when men are taking on 50% of the world’s child care & domestic work.
