Happy ! As we celebrate this day, we encourage all fathers to commit to actively be involved in care work activities such as child care, cleaning the house, and meal preparation within their households

Can you imagine a world where care and domestic work is valued and shared equally between women and men? Starting this , let’s make this happen.

Meghan Markle: How Periods Affect Potential It's time to end the menstrual shame that thwarts girls' success

Fellow youth (especially men), can we commit this year to engage in unpaid care and domestic work? This will not only relieve our spouses, mothers, sisters and friends of this burden, but will also promote their empowerment.

Unpaid care and domestic work also affects women’s political participation and leadership as it TAXES their energy, UNDERMINES their workplace authority, and reduces the time they would be spending on more POLITICALLY, SOCIALLY and ECONOMICALLY recognized work. How can men, governments, and workplaces help address this issue?
