Who Cares? The Gendered Burden of Unpaid Care Work | Aina Salleh | TEDxGoodenoughCollege

Aina talks about unpaid care work and its impact on society as a whole. She talks about entrenched societal expectations of genders and the uneven gender revolution. Finally, she explains the importance of normalising involvement of men in care work through socialisation. Aina Salleh is currently a Master’s in Public Policy candidate. In her previous life, she wore many hats; she was a prosecuting officer for the capital market regulator for Malaysia. As a writer for Malaysia’s first gender discourse platform, Aina believes in the power of conversations in sparking change. Her articles discuss contemporary challenges that women face and her first ever published article was shared over 4,000 times across five countries. Motivated to be a change maker, Aina reimagines a reality where unpaid care work no longer holds women back. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
