🌍 The United Nations proclaimed the #29Oct as the #InternationalDayOfCareAndSupport, a Day to raise awareness of the importance of care and support that we all need and provide. The Resolution calls on all sectors of society to raise awareness of how care and support are key to achieving gender equality and the sustainability of our societies and economies. It also stresses the need to invest in a resilient and inclusive care economy and in the development of strong and resilient care and support systems. #CareMatters #InvestInCare
