Global Alliance for Care [UCLG Decalogue]
Launched by the National Institute of Women in Mexico (INMUJERES) and UN-Women in the context of the 2021 Generation Equality Forum, the Global Alliance for Care is an urgent call to action within the broader framework of the Generation Equality Action Coalition on Economic Justice and Rights. UCLG serves as a member of its Management Committee, while its section dedicated to metropolises, the World Association of the Major Metropolises is a member. Local and regional governments from Mexico, Colombia and Argentina also represent our constituency in the Alliance. Seeking to address the historical and structural inequalities in the distribution of domestic and care work, the Alliance promotes inclusive gender equality and urges governments at all levels, as well as international organizations, civil society, the private sector, and other stakeholders, to take joint action to achieve equality by advancing a cultural transformation based on the recognition, reduction, remuneration and redistribution of domestic and care work among women and men, and all actors in our societies. This Alliance, launched by INMUJERES in close collaboration with UN Women, emerged as part of the commitments mobilized by the Generation Equality Forum, which began in March in Mexico City and culminated in Paris, France, in July 2021, with the launch of the Global Acceleration Plan for Equality of Gender. The Alliance is an urgent call to action within the broader framework of the Generation Equality Action Coalition on Economic Justice and Rights. Members are institutions and organizations interested in the care economy: governments (both national and local), international institutions, civil society organizations, private Sector (both international and national), philanthropic organizations (national, regional and/or international), academia, youth and feminist movements.
