[Uganda Women's Network @uwonet]

Today, #UWONET convened the Annual Research Symposium on #UCDW to elevate unpaid care work as a national policy and development priority through locally grounded evidence and lived experiences.

“Research is transforming narratives, challenging norms, and driving meaningful change on #UCDW,” noted Ms. Rita in her opening remarks.

With support from #OXFAM in Uganda and partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, Ugandan-led evidence continues to move #UCDW from the margins into the centre of public policy and development discourse.
