Time to Care - Kenya
FY 2022-23 · 2023-01-20
Summary
The project addresses inequalities in paid and unpaid care work as intersecting themes. The visibility of care work and the momentum to address it in post pandemic presents a unique opportunity to shift who does daily care work; improve the conditions of paid care work (such as domestic workers); shift power relations between women and men, and shift responsibility for investments in care from household to state. The project activities include: (1) increasing the adoption of positive, gender-equitable social norms in support of care work at the community level; (2) having an equitable sharing of care work at the household level, particularly to benefit women and girls; (3) increasing the adoption of gender-transformative legislation, policies, and practices by duty-bearers in support of paid and unpaid care work; and (4) achieving equality in the division of care work.

Description (French)
Le projet aborde les inégalités dans le travail de soins rémunéré et non rémunéré comme thèmes transversaux. La visibilité du travail de soins et l’élan donné à cette question après la pandémie offrent une occasion unique de modifier la répartition des tâches quotidiennes de soins, d’améliorer les conditions du travail de soins rémunéré (comme les travailleurs domestiques), de modifier les relations de pouvoir entre les femmes et les hommes et de transférer la responsabilité des investissements dans les soins des ménages à l’État. Les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) augmenter l’adoption de normes sociales positives et équitables en matière de genres pour soutenir le travail de soins au niveau de la communauté; 2) un partage équitable du travail de soins au niveau des ménages, en particulier au profit des femmes et des jeunes filles; 3) favoriser l’adoption d’une loi, de politiques et de pratiques transformatrices en matière d’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes par les titulaires de fonction afin de soutenir le travail de soins rémunéré et non rémunéré; 4) parvenir à l’égalité dans la répartition du travail de soins.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased adoption of gender-equitable social norms in support of women and girls in Kenya’s paid and unpaid economy; and (2) increased implementation of gender-transformative legislation, policies and practices by duty bearers in support of care economy in Kenya for women and girls.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) adoption accrue de normes sociales équitables en faveur des femmes et des filles dans l’économie rémunérée et non rémunérée du Kenya; 2) mise en œuvre accrue d’une loi, de politiques et de pratiques transformatrices en matière d’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes par les titulaires de fonction en faveur de l’économie de soins au Kenya pour les femmes et les filles.
