• Women do more care work: With schools and childcare centers closed, women have taken on more childcare and housework, especially when working from home. They end up doing more care duties than men.

• Traditional roles still apply: Even when both parents work from home, women still do most of the housework and care for the children. Men tend to focus more on work tasks.

• Mental load on women: Women not only care for their children but also worry about the emotional well-being of the family. This extra mental load adds stress, especially during a crisis.

I think the information you learned is very important. It’s good that you're becoming aware of the gender inequality that still exists, especially in housework and caregiving. It’s something many people overlook, but it affects daily life deeply.

• Is the gender inequality situation true for our society, for our home?

Yes, sadly, gender inequality is still present in our society, and sometimes even in our own home. Often, mothers take on more responsibilities simply because that’s what we’ve been taught, not necessarily because it’s fair.

• Is there anything you as a son/daughter can do to ease the burden or reduce the work load?

As a daughter, just noticing this already makes a difference. Helping more around the house, offering to take care of things without being asked, and sharing responsibilities equally.

• More than a quarter of mothers experienced negative career consequences, such as lower pay and damaged career prospective, due to working flexibly.

•  Flexible working may even reinforce traditional gender roles - men working longer, women increasing their care duties.

• Almost half of all fathers in the data said they themselves experienced some negative due to colleagues working flexibly, and almost two out of five men surveyed said that flexible workers generally make more work for others.

It's very good information and it's very important that the school informs you about it, it's accurate

• Is the gender inequality situation true for our society, for our home?

Yes, gender inequality is present in our society and a little in our home. Because, the father is the one who goes out to work and the mother stays at home.

• Is there anything you as a son/daughter can do to ease the burden or reduce the work load?

Being a daughter, I am the one in charge of helping my mother, cleaning, washing dishes, sweeping, mopping, etc. My brother also helps, but he helps less than me.

• Educate in equality from childhood:

  Promoting values such as respect, empathy, and fairness from a young age helps break down gender stereotypes.

• Gendered Expectations in Domestic Roles: The comic portrays how societal norms and expectations assign specific roles to men and women within the household. Women are often expected to take on the majority of domestic tasks, leading to an imbalance in both physical and mental labor.

• Women remember everything: Women usually have to remember what needs to be done at home, like shopping, cleaning, or kids’ stuff. Because that is what they are told to do from a young age.

• Men wait to be told: Men often do chores only after being asked, instead of noticing what needs to be done themselves.
