Inhaltliche Ausführungen vom 18. Juni
Ausführung zum Tagesthema
Care und soziale Versorgung als Ausgangspunkt für feministische Analysen
Wer leistet die Care Arbeit, unter welchen Bedingungen? Welchen Part spielen Institutionen wie Haushalte, Märkte, der öffentliche und der Nonprofit-Sektor? Die neue komparative UNRISD-Studie zur Care Ökonomie bildet die Grundlage,
um mehr zu erfahren über die Dimensionen, die Organisation und die Geschlechterdynamiken der Versorgungsökonomie. In den Workshops kontextualisieren wir die Erkenntnisse, fragen nach dem Veränderungspotenzial verschiedener Ansätze und entwerfen feministische Antworten auf die Care Krisen.
Zusammenfassungen der Nachmittags workshops
Workshop 1: Care Realities in Eastern Europe and CIS Countries
Organised and facilitated by Michaela Marksova Tominova from Karat and Anna Zachorowska-Mazurkiewicz form the feminist Think Tank Poland
The workshop's main objective is to analyse women's role as main care givers under previous (till 1989) and current political and economic systems in Eastern Europe. It will point at current pressures women face in this sphere and look for alternatives that would serve women's needs best. To understand the Eastern European actual care realities it is important to investigate the process of system's transformation experienced in the 1990s. That is why the workshop will begin with an analysis/presentation of main changes that the care system has undergone for the last 20 years and will be followed by the discussion on gender relations and the economic & political factors influencing care realities in the East.
Taller 2: Las realidades de los cuidados en Centroamérica y Latinoamérica (en Español)
Workshop 2: Care Realities in Latin and Central America (in Spanish)
Organizado y facilitado por Mayra Moro Coco Y Rocío Lleó de la Plataforma Española de WIDE (CONGDE).
El principal objetivo del taller es presentar las realidades de los cuidados en Latinoamérica y Centroamérica y analizar el papel que tienen las alianzas entre la sociedad civil en España y estas regiones a la hora de movilizar y realizar incidencia política para conseguir incluir la economía de los cuidados en la agenda de desarrollo internacional. Se presentaran dos ejemplos de estas alianzas (las campañas ("Muévete por la Igualdad, Es de Justicia" y "Sin mujeres, no es democracia") para alimentar la discusión en torno a dos ejes: En primer lugar el taller explorara las relaciones entre la participación política de las mujeres y la economía de los cuidados, el trabajo domestico y los derechos económicos de las mujeres en el contexto centroamericano y latinoamericano. En segundo lugar, se discutirá como las redes formadas por ONG españolas y centroamericanas y latinoamericanas pueden contribuir a promover el cambio social, movilizar recursos e influenciar a la opinión pública y a las instituciones gubernamentales en torno a estos temas.
The workshop's main objective is to present care realities in Latin and Central America and to analyze Latin and Central America-Spain civil society alliances role on mobilization and advocacy towards including care economy on the international development agenda. Two examples of these alliances ("Muevete por la Igualdad, Es de Justicia" and "Sin mujeres, no es democracia") will be presented to trigger the discussion on two issues: Firstly the workshop will address the link among political participation and care economy, domestic work and Women economic rights in the context on Central and Latin America. And secondly, we will discuss how networks formed by Spanish and Latin and Central America ONGs can contribute to promote change, mobilize resources and influence public opinion and decision-makers around these issues.
Workshop 3: Wer spricht worüber? - Begriffe, Definitionen, Konzepte
Moderation: Ulrike Knobloch, Ökonomin, Schweiz
Was heisst Sorge, Sorgearbeit, care regime? Wie steht Sorgearbeit zu Begriffen wie z.B. unbezahlte Arbeit oder soziale Dienstleistungen in Beziehung, wie care regime zu Sorgesystem oder Sorgestruktur? Mit welchen Definitionen und Konzepten arbeiten Organisationen wie UNIFEM, UNRISD, UNDP und ILO? In diesem Workshop werden wir uns die Begriffe und Konzepte der Sorgeökonomie genauer anschauen und ihre Unterschiede und Ähnlichkeiten, ihre Probleme und Vorzüge diskutieren. Ziel ist es, den Einstieg in das Konferenzthema zu erleichtern.
Workshop 4: Approaches to care from the feminist perspective of intersectionality
Facilitated by Patricia Muñoz Cabrera, WIDE chair
This workshop will explore the multiple realities informing the Care crisis and the differentiated impact of the crisis on women.
We start from the assumption that intersectional approaches to the care crisis can facilitate a more systemic, and integrated analysis to the problem of women's exclusion from care services, and the role of the State in the current context of budget cuts in the care sector.
Participants to the workshop will be encouraged to explore Care in connection with public/private discourses, with rural/urban realities, care as cutting across race/class/gender/sexuality intersections, and care and its relation to heteronormativity.
One of the expected outcomes of the workshop is to consider some alternatives to the current context of crisis in the care economy from an intersectional feminist perspective. Alternatives to be explored will include policy recommendations and lines of political action.
Workshop 5: Social and economic sciences: En route for a common theoretical framework
Facilitated by Annemarie Sancar, Senior Gender Advisor SDC, WIDE Switzerland
Most of the recent research on Care Economy is in its approach sociologically driven and lacks the economic reflection to explain the gender gaps. In this workshop we will critically reflect the gap between scientific fields, disciplines and discourses: Which scientific disciplines are discussing what? How can we overcome the theoretical dichotomy of the different approaches of economical and social sciences? In the discussion we will construct a common theoretical framework for social and economic science and outline a dynamic interdisciplinary approach.
