Care is the invisible engine that keeps our societies running. It is largely carried out by women - yet often unseen, unpaid, and undervalued. In Europe and Central Asia, women spend up to 3.4 times more hours on unpaid care and domestic work than men. Care is not a cost. It's a smart, transformative investment. Through TransformCare initiative, UN Women works to reshape care systems. We make care visible, valued, and central to achieving gender equality and sustainable development.
