29 February is Equal Care Day
Women in Germany provide 44,3 % more unpaid care work than men according to BMFSFJ - a burden that is often overlooked.
This day of action draws attention to the fact that care work usually remains invisible - just like this day, which is ignored three out of four years. Care work is still predominantly carried out by women, often remains unpaid and has negative consequences for caregivers' well-being, as we showed in a few of our publifications.
