Speakers will provide examples from both discriminatory and egalitarian perspectives in the law and discuss around the importance of pursuing policy and legal reforms to recognize and redistribute unpaid care and domestic work in the Muslim world. The webinar is organized by the UN Women's regional program "Men and Women for Gender Equality", which is generously funded by Sweden.
