Baraza la Umoja wa Mataifa limepitisha Azimio la kuifanya Oktoba 29 kila Mwaka kuwa siku ya Huduma na Msaada katika kutambua umuhimu wa shughuli za huduma, malezi, na kazi za ndani ambazo hufanywa na Wanawake au Wasichana bila malipo, kwa lengo la kumwezesha Mwanamke
Kazi hizo zinajumuisha Kuhudumia Watoto, Wazee, Wagonjwa, na wale wenye Ulemavu ambazo mara nyingine hazionekani kwa urahisi. Pia inajumuisha shughuli kama Kusafisha Nyumba na Mazingira, Kupika, Kufua, Kuchota Maji, na Kukusanya Kuni
Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNWOMEN, Sima Bahous, amesema anatumaini Mataifa Wanachama watatumia Siku hii kuongeza Ufahamu na Kuboresha Sera ili kuwezesha Usawa wa Kijinsia

International Day of Care and Support
The global care workforce comprises 249 million women and 132 million men. By 2030, the number of care recipients is predicted to reach 2.3 billion, driven by an additional 0.1 billion older persons and an additional 0.1 billion children aged 6 to 14 years.
Women perform 76.2 per cent of the total amount of unpaid care work, 3.2 times more time than men. In 2021, UN Women launched a five-year campaign calling for a global shift to equal sharing of unpaid care and domestic work to promote equal socioeconomic growth of a woman
In 2021, UN Women launched a five-year campaign dubbed Generation Equality. It calls for a global shift to equal sharing of unpaid care and domestic work, to promote equal socioeconomic growth of a woman.
In the early 2000s when proponents of men’s care work started introducing the conversations at global conferences, including UN meetings, on gender equality, they became victims of ridicule. Nevertheless, the fire had been lit by MenCare and MenEngage, among other global communities and campaigns.
In 2021, UN Women launched a five-year campaign, Generation Equality, under which it calls for a global shift to equal sharing of unpaid care and domestic work, as a way of promoting equal socioeconomic growth of a woman.
Now, a day has been set aside for the global population to focus on unpaid care and domestic work, a milestone in the push for recognition, reduction and redistribution of care work.
The resolution calls upon member states, the UN system, civil society, the private sector, academia, and the public to observe the day annually. It acknowledges the disproportionate burden of unpaid care and domestic work on women and girls and highlights the need to address these structural barriers to women’s empowerment.
Mindful of the need to invest in the care economy and to create robust, resilient and gender-responsive, disability-inclusive and age-sensitive care and support systems with full respect for human rights with a view to recognizing, reducing, valuing and redistributing unpaid care and domestic work and support, the General Assembly decided to proclaim 29 October as International Day of Care and Support.
It also stressed the need to recognize and value paid care work and care workers as essential workers and the need to adopt measures that combat gender stereotypes related to care and support, as well as those related to, inter alia, race, ethnicity, age and migratory status, to reduce occupational segregation for care work, facilitate the transition from informal to formal work and decent work, including with regard to paid care and domestic work, and create quality jobs in the care economy and increase the rewards and representation of paid domestic workers, including care workers, as well as the need to realize women’s right to work and rights at work for those with care responsibilities, including equal pay for work of equal value.
The Assembly invited stakeholders to observe the International Day of Care and Support on an annual basis in an appropriate manner in order to raise awareness of the importance of care and support and its key contribution to the achievement of gender equality and the sustainability of our societies and economies, as well as of the need to invest in a resilient and inclusive care economy, including the development of strong and resilient care and support systems.
