UN New York – UN New York – On 16 July, we hosted a side-event at the UN High Level Political Forum (HLPF) titled Unpaid Care at the Core: A Catalyst for Achieving the SDGs. The event aimed to highlight the inter-linkages between unpaid care work and the Sustainable Development Goals - in particular SDG5, SDG3 and SDG8, which were under review this year - and to showcase effective policies and practices that place care –and mothers – at the heart of policymaking, generating powerful synergies across sectors and goals.
