30 best practices for redistributing, reducing, recognizing, rewarding or representing care work
Within the framework of the Generation Equality Forum in 2021, the Government of Mexico, through the National Institute of Women (INMUJERES) with the support of UN Women, launched the Global Alliance for Care, as a collective commitment, through which there is an urgent call to governments, civil society, private sector, philanthropies, and international organizations to ensure the recognition, redistribution, reduction, remuneration, and representation of care work.
Thus, INMUJERES, as co-convener of the Alliance, presents this publication, which compiles thirty successful experiences from different locations around the world and in different areas. These experiences seek to redistribute, reduce, and recognize domestic and care work, respecting the labor rights of caregivers, including their right to representation.
This publication presents relevant information to enrich the knowledge and strengthen the skills of decision-makers, public policy makers, researchers and academics who bring the care dimension to implementing policies to advance the care agenda.
The stories represent an opportunity for exchange through which there is an opportunity to know and learn from the paths taken and the obstacles that have arisen to position this agenda in different spaces, national and local, public and private.
