Description
<p>Oxfam’s <strong><a href="http://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/our-work/gender-justice/womens-economic-empowerment/we-care?cid=rdt_care">WE-Care initiative</a></strong> aims to make unpaid care work visible as critical to social and economic development, while addressing heavy and unequal care work as a driver of poverty and gender inequality. This 2017 overview describes how WE-Care incorporates a range of stakeholders, ensuring that community groups, governments, development practitioners and the private sector work together to reduce and redistribute unpaid care work.</p>
<p>WE-Care was launched in 2014 in five countries – Colombia, Ethiopia, The Philippines, Uganda and Zimbabwe – and components of the approach are now being implemented across numerous Oxfam programmes covering livelihoods, health rights, women’s leadership and youth empowerment. </p>
