March 8 is International Women’s Day.
According to the Pan American Health Organization (a division of the World Health Organization), “Some 80 percent of home health care in the Americas is provided by women, but this critical work is neither recognized nor remunerated.” In fact, they say, “this invisible work is rarely even recognized as a skill.” Their statement to the world could not be stronger: “If the women of the world went on strike and suspended their community work in health for just one day, the consequences would be catastrophic for global welfare.”
