Unpaid Care Work - My Children Do Not Help

My Children Do Not Help tells the story of Ibu Munih, a woman in her fifties, who has been a single parent for 14 years.

In order to continue to support her family, Ibu Munih operates a food stall out of her family’s living space. This video highlights the fact that women may continue to perform essential care work for their family well into their elder years.
