As the former executive director of the World Food Program I was often humbled by women in conflict or crisis situations who, when asked about their needs, wanted nothing for themselves but asked that we educate their daughters. Education, these mothers believed, would provide their daughters with opportunities they, because of their gender, were denied.
For this reason, today I join the voices of women leaders from around the world demanding governments, the private sector and civil society reinvigorate and reinvest in the policies as well as in the legal and social frameworks that will achieve worldwide gender equality and inclusion. Women in the United States who are caregivers—for children, parents, spouses, siblings or extended family members—have two full time jobs while trying to compete with men who have one. And over half of us are the primary breadwinners in our households. The standard response is to convince men to “help” more. But we need a sea-change, one that can only happen with a normative revolution around the value of care.
