Social norms related to the gendered division of work limit the kind of work that is available to women. How do we get to a world where women are equal participants in the economy, earn fair wages, and have social security? 

Chief among our objectives must be to transform gendered social norms about how work is valued and what work is considered valuable. For that, we must recognise and redistribute the burden of unpaid care work, and recognise and mainstream paid informal work. 

In this video, we develop and agenda for the broad transformation of gendered social norms.

This video is the first lecture from the module on collective action for decent work. To enrol in this course on Decent Work for Women, visit www.nagriklearning.com.
