Study findings dissemination workshop: Unpaid care work in Uganda

The School of Women and Gender Studies in collaboration with the Economic Policy Research Centre and CARE International in Uganda are organizing a dissemination workshop for the baseline study findings under the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) Project in Uganda. The baseline study was undertaken as the second phase of the 3 years collaborative Project under the theme “From Promises to Actions: shifting gender norms and public perceptions about unpaid care work in workplaces and families in Uganda.”

The project seeks to establish the mechanisms for changing the gender and social norms, public perceptions and attitudes related to Unpaid Care Work in a cost-effective way through testing a combination of approaches under the existing models (POWER model) that have demonstrated effectiveness in shifting gender and social norms associated with Intimate Partner Violence.

The Project Team undertook a baseline study to map out the gender and social norms (GSNs) and perceptions on unpaid care work at family, community and institutional levels (formal and informal) as well as the key influencers, detractors of GSNs to inform the interventions that address women’s disproportionate care burden.

The study results will be disseminated in the upcoming workshop.
