Project overview
SAfAIDS in partnership with Sonke Gender Justice and GIZ aims to increase knowledge and awareness around unpaid care work and its linkage to gender based violence in Zimbabwe and Southern Africa. Unpaid care work refers to the activities and responsibilities that individuals undertake without receiving monetary compensation. These activities typically involve providing care and support to family members, friends, or community members. Globally, women and girls tend to bear a disproportionate burden of unpaid care work. This phenomenon is often referred to as the "caregiving gender gap" or "feminization of care” and is a result of social, cultural, economic, and political factors.
Purpose of consultancy
SAfAIDS seeks to recruit the services of a consultant to conduct the State of Fathers Report for Zimbabwe on unpaid care work project. The report is aimed at assessing the following.
- Assess the attitudes and behaviours of fathers towards unpaid care work in their homes.
- Factors that influence existing negative gender norms and harmful gender practices towards unpaid care work.
- Make recommendations which will inform future projects and interventions and outline best practices.
