Although it often goes unseen, care work is everywhere.
In the quiet early hours, as children are bathed for school. In the round-the-clock effort to keep elders comfortable. In the meal cooked over firewood. In the water drawn from a borehole miles away. In the hours spent checking homework. It sustains life. It holds economies together. And in Southern Africa, it is overwhelmingly done by women and girls - unpaid, unrecognised, and unprotected.
On 29 April, the Southern Africa Trust invites you to a webinar bringing the unseen into view. It is not only a webinar. It is a solidarity moment and a call to action to centre care, count it, fund it, and fight for it. We will be launching our regional Care Scoping Study, platforming the voices of care workers and their lived experiences, and co-creating an advocacy product that threads together your narratives and advocacy demands for care work in your region.
