Global Caregivers Summit
On June 28-30, the “Global Grassroots Women Community Caregivers’ Summit” brought together more than 70 caregivers and domestic workers from 24 countries. The Summit was convened by the Global Alliance for Care, the Huairou Commission (HC), the National Institute of Women of the Government of Mexico (Inmujeres), and UN Women, with the collaboration of caregiver groups from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, and the Caribbean.
The Summit was a pivotal moment for collective mobilization, galvanizing stakeholders’ support, and marked the inaugural event of a series that will be organized by the Global Alliance for Care to catalyze social dialogues representing the diverse economic justice agendas of unpaid and paid, informal and formal care workers organizations and unions.
