Side event Zorg-Werkverdeling


Woensdag 14 maart was ons side-event over de zorg-werkverdeling in Europees perspectief: hoe kan zorg en werk gecombineerd worden in onder andere Nederland, Denemarken en Frankrijk en wat zijn de visies van organisaties zoals EIGE en MenEngage hierop? Wat kunnen we van elkaar leren?

Om het ijs wat te breken, startten we de bijeenkomst met een rollenspel. Hierin gaven we een aantal aanwezigen de specifieke rol van vader, moeder, buurvrouw, vriendin en dokter om een situatie na te spelen waarin de moeder de optie overweegt om parttime te gaan werken om de zorg voor haar kind te kunnen combineren. 
 
Vervolgens konden de aanwezige beleidsmakers hierop inhaken om hun visie en oplossingen vanuit hun nationale beleid weer te geven. Hiermee kon de discussie over de mogelijkheden om zorg en werk te combineren van start gaan.
 
Het was een succesvol event met interessante input!

Hieronder wat foto's van de afgelopen dagen.

 Proost op ons succesvolle side-event!

Laatste dagje voor Edith. Samen met Margriet, Barbara van Paassen (ActionAid) en Sjoerd Warmerdam (OCW), deel van de Nederlandse regeringsdelegatie.

Artwork "Who can I trust with my story?" from ArtVism in Uganda During the 69th CSW, the Our Voices Our Futures (OVOF) consortium organised a creative ARTivism for Change space where bold protest sign-making, intimate film screenings, and thought-provoking feminist dialogues blended together. Over two days, March 12 and 13, 2025, artists, activists, and allies transformed the space into dynamic real-life canvases of empowerment, solidarity, and cultural and political resistance.   In the main space of the Blue Gallery participants engaged with various stations, including Button Making , Journaling with Art , Drawing , and Protest Sign Making . Participants moved between activities, creating powerful messages of resistance and hope. The creativity extended beyond the activities themselves. Access Denied The ACCESS DENIED campaign , initiated by WO=MEN, was set up to be a photo installation. It highlights the deep gap between the inclusive vision set forth at the 1995 Beijing ...

Women in Politics: Choosing between Ambition and Safety?

At the CSW69 NGO Forum's session Accelerating Progress By Addressing Barriers To Leadership And Democratic Participation examples of barriers for participation and programs and policies that promote inclusion where shared by speakers from Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.   Evidence shows that barriers such as limited access to mentors and networks, lack of flexible work arrangements, and harassment and discrimination all limit women's participation and advancement in leadership roles. “In a democratic society, it is necessary to display a fair distribution of men and women at all levels of decision-making,” Jenny Gulamani-Abdulla, Co-Founder of the Canadian Federation For Citizenship (CFC), shared.

Access Denied Campaign

Following many concerns and calls for support received from activists who were not able to come to New York, WO=MEN – jointly with members and partners - took the initiative to launch a campaign to call attention to the exclusion of defenders from meaningfully participating in the CSW: ACCESS DENIED! “Without the active participation of women and the incorporation of women’s perspective at all levels of decision-making, the goals of equality, development and peace cannot be achieved.” - Beijing Platform for Action The ACCESS DENIED campaign seeks to address the stark contrast between Beijing’s call for participation of women back in 1995 already and the reality of exclusion faced by many activists who had wished to be here at this 30 year anniversary of Beijing. Particularly activists from the global South , black and brown women, women with disabilities, youth, trans and gender non-binary people, sex workers and undocumented migrants face exclusion. Denied access due to visa obstacle...
