Across the globe, women and girls spend far more time on unpaid care work than men, often at the cost of education, employment, health, and civic participation. Time use data shines a light on this invisible labor, but data alone isn’t enough. That’s where this new toolkit comes in.
Developed by Data2X with support from The Generation Foundation, this practical advocacy toolkit equips gender advocates, policymakers, researchers, and civil society leaders with the tools to translate time use data into policy action. Drawing on lessons from Sub-Saharan Africa, it provides:
- A step-by-step framework for using time use data to shape gender-responsive policy
- Templates for stakeholder mapping, messaging, strategy development, and more
- Sector-specific guidance spanning care, labor, agriculture, education, and transport
- Real-world case studies from Kenya, Senegal, and Uganda
- Insights on adapting advocacy to rural, urban, and sub-national contexts
Whether you’re working to advance national care policies, improve infrastructure, or strengthen inclusive labor markets, this toolkit is your guide to making women’s time visible—and valued.
