Midwives' Voices. We can learn from how women go about sharing responsibility or loosening the grip of moral expectations to care against all odds. We can also learn from scholars and advocates who have long been committed to investigating and transforming the social organization of care — reckoning with systemic inequities that diminish those who provide and those who need care, while also reflecting on the importance of care infrastructure that is central to the running of the economy.

The Care Economy Statement , developed by sociologist Pat Armstrong and colleagues, is a notable example that pushes for integrated, equitable responses that put the care economy at the centre of policy.
We need major investments that enact care as a public, collective responsibility, not a for-profit, private one. There are statements to sign , coalitions to join , social movements to support and promising policy and practice recommendations for governments to implement. India Kenya Malawi Nigeria Pakistan Uganda April Behind the Demands This report goes behind the top demands to provide more detail about what women asked for and how we can act accordingly.
Why this campaign? Who are the survey results intended for? The results of the What Women Want survey are intended to inform health policies, programs and practices at the national and community levels and it is our hope that Ministers of Health, Education and Family Welfare, among others, will look closely at what women and girls have said so that they can build policies that respond to their self-articulated needs. How is it different from other surveys?
What was the process of collecting responses - was it the same in every country, and how did the process impact answers? How did you reach so many women?
What actions are being taken as a result of the findings? The Minister promised to strengthen feedback mechanisms for women who submit their concerns.

Most women are kind, reasonable, realistic people who want to make sure that their partner feels secure and loved. Most are not asking for fancy meals, fancy trips or fancy things; they know that the company is always the most important factor. They simply want to feel taken care of, and it is important not to confuse them with the women who have withheld love and support or prioritized money and status and thus caused hurt feelings.
The Bottom Line: The bottom line for mature, independent, confident women is this: We've lived happily on our own for many years, and we'd rather be on our own and not be taken care of than be with someone and not feel taken care of. If we're going to be with somebody long-term, we want to find the man who loves our strength and wants to make us feel cared for in the ways I have discussed.
And for the reasons I've discussed, we're not going to apologize for it. Of course, this becomes a very tricky endeavor, because when we are dating, we either have to find a way of tactfully articulating our aforementioned paradox of strength and the need for care, or we have to find a man who intuits our needs -- who has the desire to care-take while fully respecting us; who is strong, sharing and supportive while acknowledging and enjoying our strength; who is wholeheartedly giving in the right ways at the right times.
