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.

​We invite you to join us as we discuss the role of VSS to empower women, this March 8, 2022 at 14h (CET), to celebrate the International Women's Day. During this event, the United Nations Forum on Sustainability Standards (UNFSS) will present their forthcoming research on "Exploring the Role of Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS)​ for Women´s Economic Empowerment on the Agriculture Sector​ in Developing Countries".

The ILO celebrates this year’s International Women’s Day by advocating for large-scale investments in a package of transformative care leave and services that benefit workers, children, families, businesses, societies and the planet.
