Globally, women perform the vast majority of (2.8x more) unpaid care and domestic work due to traditional gender norms and stereotypes about women’s role in the family (UN Women). Even where care work is paid, women workers often face low wages, precarious conditions, and sexual harassment. In the United States, while the country celebrates #IndependenceDay, we acknowledge the labor law protections drafted during enslavement, which intentionally excluded domestic workers, including caregivers, still have an impact on their wages and benefits today. Our newest “I need the ERA because …” factsheet on the right to receive and provide care details how the Equal Rights Amendment (#ERA) could facilitate paid or mandatory leave for all parents and caregivers and affect how laws determining family leave would be reviewed under strict scrutiny. Read more about how the #ERA could influence the right to receive and provide care to better understand how you can become #IndependentFromInequality: https://lnkd.in/dkxCCSUq #FamilyLeave #ERANow #WeNeedTheERA #INeedTheERA #July4 #UnpaidLabor #DomesticWork #HouseWork #UnpaidCareWork #CareWork #ChildCare #GenderEquality #HumanRights #WomensRights

Are you aware of the potential legal consequences for disability discrimination if your business fails to make reasonable adjustments for workers affected by menopause? The equality watchdog has warned that employers could be sued for this. Your company's policies are not just a set of rules, they are the foundation of your culture. Reviewing and adapting your policies can have a HUGE impact on attracting new talent, as well as retaining and supporting your current employees. We recently carried out a project with our client Thales and helped them to re-imagine their employee policies. If you need to do the same, you can read the case study on our website. Let's work together to support women in the workplace particularly around a subject that is easy to misunderstand. Source: HR Grapevine #MenopauseSupport #EqualityAtWork
