Sharing the Care: How to Recognize, Reduce, and Redistribute
Event co-sponsored by UN Women, Permanent Mission of Iceland to the UN, Government of Sweden, MenEngage Alliance. Recognizing and valuing unpaid care work has been broadly recognized as a strategy to advance gender equality as well as economic development. Although this aim has been outlined in declarations and global goals – solutions have fallen short. The event included the launch of a new MenCare parental leave platform.
