2023 – State of the World’s Fathers, produced by Equimundo, is a globally recognized, biennial report and advocacy platform that is part of the global fatherhood campaign. The 2023 report report reveals that thousands of women and men across the world are calling for care to be central to their lives, which can only be addressed by a fundamental overhaul of power structures, policies, and social norms around both paid and unpaid care work.
New research conducted for the report across 17 countries shows that women and men across the world have multiple caregiving responsibilities, to children, the elderly, homes, neighbors, friends, and extended families. 2023 report also reveals a number of promising examples of successful care policies and programs around the world, and proposes a series of recommendations for urgent structural action, following the acronym CARING in English, CUIDAR in Spanish, and SOIGNER in French.
The report is available in English and Portuguese.
