Work and care: a private matter or a collective issue?
Is care an individual responsibility or a matter that concerns society as a whole? And what happens when care responsibilities intersect with working life?
On 11 November, together with the Municipality of Palermo, we will be discussing the relationship between care, work, wellbeing and gender equality, as part of the European EQUAL-CARE project, under the umbrella of which CARE-DIVIDE is being hosted.
Through the launch of Martina Riina’s book ‘Il latte è di tutte’ (the milk is of everyone), a panel discussion with representatives from institutions and the professional sector, and the presentation of the results of the two projects, the event aims to prompt reflection on the social value of care, gender inequalities and the need for a fairer distribution of responsibilities.
An opportunity for dialogue to imagine, together, more inclusive working environments and communities, in which care is recognised as a collective responsibility.
