The #StateoftheWorldsFathers 2023 report shows that while fathers are doing more childcare, they still do markedly less than women. Let's change this.
Investing in care work is critical for sustainable development and #GenderEquality.

#MenCare mission is to promote men to be allies in supporting women’s social and economic equality, by taking on more responsibility for unpaid work. True equality will only be reached when men are taking on 50% of the world’s child care & domestic work.
