"What happens when a city takes women’s unpaid work seriously?"

"Women in Bogotá provide over 35 billion hours of unpaid care work annually — totaling more than one-fifth of Colombia’s GDP.
Partly to address this, Bogotá is pioneering 'care blocks,' neighborhood hubs where women can access free laundry, legal aid, job training, mental health services, and more while their children or elderly relatives receive care on site. The city has opened 25 care blocks since 2020.
The model is spreading globally. A US city is expected to join in 2026."
