Cutting edge pack- gender and care, Supporting Resources Collection and In Brief

BRIDGE: The last two components of newest Cutting Edge Pack on Gender and Care have now been released. The pack focuses on how the provision of 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?
