Fathers are not “helping” with their children. They are parenting.

When a father takes the children to school, prepares a meal, attends a school meeting, stays home with a sick child, or handles bedtime, he isn't helping the mother.

He is sharing responsibility for his family.
The language we use matters because it reflects how we understand care.

When caregiving is seen as primarily a woman's responsibility, a father's involvement becomes “help.”

But when care is understood as a shared responsibility, both parents have a role to play.

And that shared responsibility can make a real difference in whether women are able to remain, grow and thrive in the workforce.

What would change if we stopped talking about fathers “helping” and started talking about fathers parenting?

This is one of the conversations we'll be having at WIEConf 2026.

Who should carry the responsibility for caregiving?

Is it the family? Employers? Government? The community?

Or all of us?

Tell us what you think 👇

Care is essential to every family, every workplace and every economy.

Yet, too often, the responsibility for providing it falls disproportionately on women, thus shaping the choices they make about work, careers and economic participation.

Shared care starts at home, but the responsibility extends beyond the home.
Families, employers, communities and government all have a role to play in creating systems that make care more sustainable.

At WIEConf 2026, we'll be having these conversations and asking a simple but important question:

What would change if we treated care as a shared responsibility?

Caregiving is a shared responsibility, not a one-person burden.

When care is shared, families function better and everyone gets room to thrive.

YOU'VE BEEN INVITED TO WIECONF 2026

A sitting point for changemakers, workplace influencers and people who are shaping the future of work.

WORK, CARE & THE FUTURE OF WOMEN’S ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION

This is more than a women's conference.

It is a room for the conversations we need to have about how workplaces are designed, how care is shared and what it will take to ensure that talent is not lost.

Have you noticed workplace patterns that make it harder for people, especially women, to stay and thrive?

This is your avenue to question them and be part of creating something better.

On 24th October 2026, over 600 employers, business leaders, people managers, women professionals, spouses and policymakers will gather in Port Harcourt to engage perspectives and move the conversation forward.

This is change.

This is the moment.

And you should be in the room.

We were nominated to participate in the 3-day Youth-Led Social Media Advocacy Campaign focused on Women’s Political Participation, organised by FactCheck Africa as part of its work to strengthen young people’s capacity to identify, counter and respond to electoral disinformation ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 elections.

WomanIncluded Eco-Dev Foundation was represented by our Lead Advocate, Ciara Prince who joined other young advocates in exploring how social media can be used to promote informed conversations and strengthen women’s participation in the political process.

Women’s political participation is closely connected to the work we do at WomanIncluded Eco-Dev Foundation. We believe women must have a meaningful role in shaping the decisions that affect their lives, livelihoods and communities.

We are grateful to FactCheckAfrica for the opportunity to learn, contribute and be part of this important conversation ahead of the 2027 elections.

Becoming a mother does not erase the skills, expertise or career one has built.

It’s time to build workplaces where women don’t have to prove that they are still capable simply because their lives have changed.

Join the conversation at WIEConf 2026 as we work towards a more inclusive economy where women can participate, grow and thrive through every season of life.

It starts with recruitment:
Are qualified women getting a fair chance to enter the workplace?

Then performance:
Are we measuring how well someone works, or simply how available they are?

And when life happens, do our policies make room for it or make employees feel like having responsibilities outside work is a problem?

Then comes retention.

When experienced women leave, HR has to ask:
“Why are we losing them?”

This is because losing an employee also means losing their experience, skills and leadership potential.

That’s why HR Professionals belong at the WIEConf.

Join the conversation at WIEConf 2026 and be part of shaping workplaces where women can enter, grow and stay.

One striking thing about myths is that they often survive because they contain just enough truth to sound believable.

One such example is the myth that women leave because they lose ambition.

Meanwhile, many women actually leave when rigid workplace structures become impossible to reconcile with caregiving responsibilities.

That impossibility of reconciliation is often the product of workplaces that are not properly suited for the realities of people’s lives.

Workplaces where a full workday assumes there are no emergencies at home and as such, there are no structures to fall back on.

Workplaces where flexibility is treated as a favour and caregiving is seen as a personal problem rather than a reality that employees have to navigate.

A lot will change when we shift the focus from “Why did she lose ambition?” to “What made it impossible for her to stay?”
