    "content": "This oversight has broader implications, including the perpetuation of the feminization of poverty and a hindrance to the full realization of women’s potential in economic and social development. To address these challenges and pave the way for a more equitable future, it is imperative that we not only recognize the disproportionate burden placed on women, but also take concrete steps towards policy development and legislative reforms. The report emphasizes the need for an unpaid care and domestic work policy to legally recognize, reduce, and redistribute this workload. Furthermore, it calls for the development of labour policies that support the integration of unpaid caregivers into the labour force, establishing family-friendly working arrangements and ensuring decent terms and conditions of employment. As Senators, we have a critical role to play in championing these policy changes and legislative reforms. The Time Use Survey Report is a call to action. It is a reminder that we must take decisive and concrete steps to address the gender disparities in unpaid care work and fully recognize and value the contributions of women to our economy and society. By doing so, we will not only be advancing the cause of gender equality and women’s empowerment, but we will also be building a more just, equitable and prosperous Kenya for all. I thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir."
