Day 1 🟪 National Advocacy Strategy Workshop Participants explored unpaid care work in Northern Ghana, shared stories, and identified key issues. Ready for Day 2 and shaping our advocacy strategy framework! 💪🏾🇬🇭 #NETRIGHT #NETRIGHTAT25 #UnpaidCareWork #Ghana #WomenEmpowerment

🇬🇭 In Northern Ghana, women and girls shoulder almost 2x the national average of unpaid care work. Dr. Faustina Obeng reminds us this will not change until care is seen as everyone’s work, not just women’s. ✨ #NETRIGHT #NETRIGHTAT25 #UnpaidCareWork #TimePoverty #Ghana

💬 Dr. Naazia Ibrahim (University for Development Studies) notes women spend 7x more time on unpaid care work than men, fuelling exhaustion, lost opportunities & reinforcing inequality. #NETRIGHT #NETRIGHTAT25 #UnpaidCareWork #TimePoverty #CareEconomy #Ghana #WomenEmpowerment

Unpaid care work is one of the least addressed issues globally, yet it places a heavy burden on women & girls in Northern Ghana. At our National Advocacy Strategy Workshop, the focus is on making this invisible work visible & driving gender-transformative policy change. #NETRIGHT

Our National Advocacy Strategy Workshop on Unpaid Care Work kicks off with welcome remarks from Cynthia Sunu, Programme Manager for NETRIGHT. 🌍 Together with @Alinea_Ideas, we’re pushing for policies that ease the unequal burden on women & girls. #NETRIGHT #GenderEquality

🇬🇭Ghanaian women work an average of 13 hrs a day, yet 60% goes unpaid. From 1–2 Sept 2025, the National Advocacy Strategy Workshop on Unpaid Care Work, in partnership with @alineaideas, will push for a fairer care economy. 💪🏾💜 #NETRIGHT #NETRIGHTAT25 #WomenEmpowerment
