Sharing household tasks equally among men and women

Agenda 21 recommends programmes to promote reduction of the heavy workload of women and girl children at home and outside through the sharing of household tasks by men and women on an equal basis.

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
