a. First Women’s Strike* in Luxembourg
The Women’s Strike* in 2020 was a historic first for Luxembourg. More than 2000 people took to the streets to demand an equal sharing of care work. Milena Steinmetzer looks back on this event in pictures.

b. What is the work of care, what is it anyway?
Jessica Lopes will review the terms we use regularly: care work, emotional work, mental load… what are we really talking about?

c. Women and the health crisis
This crisis proves that care work, which is generally invisible and little recognized, is absolutely essential for the survival and basic functioning of society. Much of this work is done by women. Inês Alves looks back at what happened.
