Read the event concept note here.

Care is an essential part of the global economy and the social contract on which human society is built. However, its value remains mostly unrecognised in the policy realm, as households -and, especially, women- are left to address their care needs on their own. Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls, as proposed by this year’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) theme, requires the mobilisation of resources towards gender-transformative, comprehensive care systems.

This in-person side event will convene key stakeholders to map strategies for galvanising commitments on care in multilateral agendas for 2024 and beyond. The focus of the conversation will be to gather insights into the expected outcomes of care reform in the global agenda from multilateral organisations and relevant global policy platforms. 

The speakers are:

Moderator: Ana Moreno – Technical secretary at Global Alliance for Care 

  • Dulce Maria Pereira – Advisor to the Minister for Women, Federative Republic of Brazil 
  • Gala Díaz Langou – Executive Director of CIPPEC Argentina
  • Paul Ladd – Director of UNRISD
  • Representatives from India and South Africa (TBC)
