Unpaid Care Work - Unveiling the Invisible Labor Performed by Women in Bangladesh
Unpaid household work, ranging from caregiving to cooking, cleaning and other domestic work, is predominantly shouldered by women. While unpaid care and domestic work are essential for economies to function, it is largely unrecognized, undervalued and unremunerated. The unequal distribution of care and domestic work limits women’s opportunities for paid employment, contributes to their overall time poverty and affects their well-being. Failure to consider these factors can lead to ineffective economic, social and environmental policies. For a country ranked among the most climate-vulnerable, the effects of climate change have further compounded the unraveling care crisis since the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. These photographs showcase various forms and mediums of unpaid care work to strengthen public advocacy on recognizing women’s unpaid work and equitable redistribution of care responsibilities through visual storytelling.
