MenCare to host webinar discussion on the impacts of lockdown mandates on household care dynamics and ways forward for policymakers and advocates.
Using data from the #HowICare Project, MenCare will host a webinar that discusses the impacts of lockdown mandates on and how policymakers and advocates can mitigate these negative impacts in future pandemics. Using the MenCare Commitment pillars as a framework, the webinar will relay the results from the Oxfam and Equimundo-led rapid response poll to demonstrate how public and private institutions can play a tangible role in mitigating the harmful impacts of emergencies on household care dynamics and therefore must make a strategic effort to address this in both the short- and long-term.
