UNRISD and the International Gender Champions are co-hosting a breakfast meeting and roundtable discussion on the importance of recognizing care as a need, as work and as a right for all people.
The Global Alliance for Care is the first global multi-stakeholder community that facilitates and fosters spaces for collective action, advocacy, communication, and learning about care, its recognition as a need, as work, and as a right. It is an articulation between governments, civil society, union associations, the philanthropic sector, international organizations, and academia seeking to advance the care agenda from the local to the global level.
During the event we highlight the mission of the Global Alliance for Care as well as explore new avenues of action going forward toward a future where care is recognized as a vital part of our lives that is at the very centre of all our well-being and prosperity.
