24 days to change the world
Day 23
Sign the Carers Charter
Unpaid family carers play a crucial role in societies around the world. Will you support Carers Worldwide and sign their Carers Charter?
Carers Worldwide is the only organisation exclusively highlighting and tackling the issues facing unpaid family carers in the global South. Unpaid family carers play a vital role in society, but are an invisible army, caring for sick, elderly or disabled family members day in, day out, with no recognition or respite. This vulnerable and hidden group are at high risk of social stigma, isolation, ill health and poverty.
Carers Worldwide promotes their inclusion and gives them a voice.
This year for the first time, Carers Day was celebrated across India, Nepal and Bangladesh on 19th October. Across the day, more than 10,000 unpaid family carers and their supporters held rallies and formed human chains, standing up for their rights and showing solidarity. They also submitted memorandums to local government authorities, focusing on unpaid family carers’ issues, rights and needs.
And they signed up to Carers Worldwide’s Carers Charter.
By signing the Carers Charter you demonstrate your commitment to unpaid family carers and pledge to do what you can in your own sphere of influence to promote and support their rights.

Remember, standing against injustice can be complicated. Some actions might not relate to causes you believe in and others might not be possible for very practical reasons. You are welcome to skip today and come back again tomorrow!
