Short Summary |
Providing
care can be both a source of fulfilment and a terrible burden. For women and
girls in particular, their socially prescribed role as carers can undermine
their rights and limit their opportunities, capabilities and choices - posing
a fundamental obstacle to gender equality and well-being. How can we move
towards a world in which individuals and society recognise and value the
importance of different forms of care, but without reinforcing care work as
something that only women can or should do? This Cutting Edge Pack hopes to
inspire thinking on this fundamental question - with an Overview Report
outlining why care is important and exploring which approaches offer the best
prospects for change, a Supporting Resources Collection providing summaries
of key texts, tools, case studies and contacts of organisations in this
field, and a Gender and Development In Brief newsletter with three short
articles on the theme. |
