The #G20 has emphasized the importance of women-led development. Addressing the care crisis is critical for achieving gender equality.
Read this issue brief by @T20org on how digitally enabled #care provisioning holds promise for addressing this crisis.

"We live better as men if we believe in a version of manhood that is equitable and compassionate." Gary barker @equimundo_org on embedding healthy feminist masculinity in gender programming in Care, GBV at @WorldBank gender strategy discussion.
The health and care sector is highly feminized. Usually this means the working conditions are not good, it's less likely to be unionized, is underfunded, and the gender wage gap is higher. @emanuela_pozzan on new @ilo report on ending gender pay gaps. #WomenDeliver2023
As the day comes to a close, I extend heartfelt thanks to @ilo @WomenDeliver @CGDev @WeProsperGlobal and many more organizations that join us for an incredibly insightful day of thought leadership and actionable steps toward creating a #RoadMaponCare Action. 🙏🌟 #WD23CareCon

In Bogota, a city of ~4M women, about 1.2M are dedicated to unpaid care labor.
These women are victims of time poverty.
That is why the city created “care blocks” use existing infrastructure to centralize services for caregivers +care receivers @drodriguezfr #WD23CareCon
