Equimundo

Across countries, cultures, and contexts, parents are saying the same thing.

They are stretched to a breaking point. And they are not getting the support they need.

But their demands are not abstract. They are clear, practical, and achievable.

Affordable childcare. Flexible work. Paid parental leave. Safe communities. Education and health systems that actually work. Recognition that fathers are caregivers too.

These are not luxuries. They are the basic conditions needed to raise children with dignity.

Parents are already making extraordinary sacrifices to hold families together. What they are asking for now is for systems to meet them halfway.

They are ready to demand change. And increasingly, they are ready to vote for it.

The future of care will depend on whether institutions listen.

📲 How can technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) be measured in ways that are ethical, contextually grounded, and globally comparable?

Join us on 16 April 2026 for an insightful moderated conversation hosted by SVRI's TFGBV Community of Practice. Drawing on global frameworks, a compendium of TFGBV measures, and ground-up innovations, a panel of experts will discuss how to measure TFGBV in ways that are comparable across contexts yet grounded in local realities — without compromising safety or ethics in data collection.

During the session, the TFGBV CoP will also present the new leads for the working groups on ethics and measurement, and on advocacy.
