International Wages for Housework Campaign

The International Wages for Housework Campaign is a movement advocating for paid recognition of domestic work, such as cleaning, cooking, and caregiving, often performed unpaid by women. It challenges the idea that household tasks are invisible or simply part of family life, emphasizing that these contributions are valuable labor deserving fair compensation. The campaign seeks to raise awareness about gender inequality and economic justice by advocating for wages for housework, promoting the societal importance of care work, and pushing for policies that compensate those who maintain households and caregiving responsibilities.
