🌍 Advancing Gender-Transformative Care Systems 🌍

On October 10, 2025, our Senior Investigator in Kenya, Geoffrey Otieno represented Equidem at the W20 Side Event – “Leveraging the G20 to Advance Policy Action: A South–South Peer Learning Workshop on Gender Transformative Care Systems and Policies,” held in Johannesburg.

The workshop brought together policymakers, feminist advocates, researchers, and development partners from Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa to exchange lessons on how care innovations can evolve from pilot initiatives to integrated, gender-transformative public policies.

Discussions addressed:
💡 Financing care as a public good, even in times of austerity
💡 Strengthening governance and institutional capacity for care systems
💡 The role of feminist and social movements in shaping the global care agenda
💡 Building South–South solidarity to advance equitable, inclusive care policies
💡 Discuss legal and institutional pathways to embed care rights
💡Emphasise care work as transformative investment, not a cost

Events like this are key moments for deepening collaboration and advancing gender-transformative policy action worldwide.
