Strengthening Gender-Responsive and Disability-Inclusive Transformative Care and Support Advancing and strengthening gender-transformative and disability-inclusive care and support systems is fundamental to the full and effective enjoyment of human rights. Efforts to transform care and support systems must actively and systematically advance non-discrimination and gender equality across society. Achieving this requires identifying who is excluded or discriminated against, understanding how and why, and recognizing those experiencing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination. It also requires pinpointing inequalities in care and support outcomes and opportunities, as well as patterns of discrimination in laws, policies, and practices. Following an intense collaboration with the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and her team (Special Procedures, UN Human Rights Council), with peer review and peer assist support provided by a number of UN Funds, Programmes and Agencies including @OHCHR, UNDP, and, UN Women HQ units, Regional and Country Offices within and beyond the scope of the ongoing global joint programme on Unpaid Care, Disability, and Gender Transformative Programme, supported by the @UN_GDF Fund (GDF), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), Cross-regional Networks of Women with Disabilities, @un_women is very pleased to launch the Policy Paper ‘Towards a Better Future: Strengthening Gender Responsive and Disability Inclusive Transformative Care and Support. This policy paper provides key insights into the intersection of gender and disability within care and support environments. It emphasizes that developing comprehensive and inclusive care systems is essential for promoting gender equality and protecting the rights of both care recipients and caregivers, especially persons with disabilities. Acknowledging that care needs evolve throughout a person’s life, the brief underscores the importance of adopting a life-course approach when designing and implementing care systems.

Over 100 million people have benefited from improved social protection coverage through @ilo's support. Behind these numbers are real lives changed, people better able to retire with dignity, access healthcare & support their families in times of crisis. ow.ly/wWbc50Yws5B

My 2 cents at the #GDS organized side event at CSW70: Globally, women represent up to 80% of caregivers for persons with disabilities and the elderly, with an increase to 90% in low and middle-income counties[1]. In terms of poverty, it is predicted that as a result of engagement in unpaid caregiving responsibilities, women miss out on up to $10.8 trillion annually according to Oxfam. We must do more to ensure voice of women with disabilities in care support and beyond. @UnitedNations @UN_Women #includivecareagenda @UN_GDF
