Today, we unite to celebrate the UN’s International Day of Care and Support, a moment to recognise the vital role of care in our lives.
Care work, whether paid or unpaid, is essential for the future of decent work. This day aims to recognise the need to invest in the care economy and to build strong, flexible, and fair care and support systems that consider gender, disability, and age while respecting human rights.
This year’s theme, “Building sustainable care and support systems through decent work,” highlights care workers and the importance of decent work. It also recognises the need to close gaps and give care workers a stronger voice globally.
