This online parallel event aims to build global momentum from the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to strengthen advocacy for recognising care as a human right within national legislation worldwide, extending beyond Latin America and the Caribbean. It will present findings from a broad-based review of current care contexts in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. The discussion will examine existing care-related legislation and policy initiatives, highlighting both achievements and persistent gaps, assess recent advances in the privatisation of care, and explore emerging experiences of remunicipalisation where they exist, identifying lessons to inform future rights-based advocacy.
