This week: Hemispheric Dialogue on Telework and caregiving co-responsibility

The 2nd Hemispheric dialogue on gender among Ministries of Labor “Telework and caregiving co-responsibility for a gender-responsive recovery” will take place on Wednesday, May 26th, in order to exchange experiences and make recommendations on how to ensure that telework does not continue to deepen existing gaps between women and men in the labor market and, rather, contributes to achieving joint responsibility for care and promoting gender equality in the region.
This dialogue is organized by the RIAL/OAS Technical Secretariat in partnership with the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) and the financial support of the Canadian Labour Program to the RIAL.
