    Women's Contribution to Equality in Latin America and the Caribbean brings to the fore two key drivers in the structural pattern of inequality between women and men: first, political participation and gender parity in decision-making processes at all levels, and, second, women's contribution to the economy and social protection, especially in relation to unpaid work.

    2007
    The dynamics of care are receiving more attention from activists, researchers and policy makers than they did 20, even 10, years ago. In part, this is because women's massive entry into the paid work force has squeezed the time previously allocated to the unpaid care of family and friends.

    Reducing the Burden of HIV and AIDS Care on Women and Girls

    Voluntary Services Overseas, 2006
    Community and home-based care, delivered with little support from the public health system, is currently the key response to the HIV and AIDS pandemic globally. Due to traditional gender norms and unequal gender relations, it is women and girls who generally assume primary responsibility for providing this care, whilst possibly being HIV-positive, and often needing care themselves.
