Oxfam in Bangladesh is pleased to announce Cartoon & Comics Competition on Unpaid Care Work 2020 in Bangladesh.
Unpaid Care Work is a set of work which are related to day to day household activities. This work does not have any economic value and that’s why nobody considered this as an important work. As this work mostly is done by female members so this set of works are uncompensated, unrecognized and undervalued. These works are essential for maintaining our society. Unpaid care work provides services that nurture other people and is costly in terms of time and energy.
Oxfam in Bangladesh is implementing “Empower Youth for Work” project that aims to improve economic and social empowerment for young men and women in rural climate-change affected areas. This project intends to create economic opportunities for women by recognizing, redistributing and reducing of Unpaid Care Work. Youth are expected to be at stake to shift or change existing social norms that perpetuate the perspective to consider Unpaid care work as the sole responsibility of women. In this context, Oxfam in Bangladesh is going to organize a cartoon/comics competition on Unpaid Care Work.
