“Who Designs Domestic Labor?” Hackathon Begins!

Housework such as cleaning, cooking, washing up, ironing, which should be basic life skills, are mostly attributed to women with the influence of stereotyped gender roles. This situation is expressed as the invisible domestic emotional labor of women.

In the quarantine process that has been going on since the beginning of the pandemic, including mainly working women, women’s emotional labor and burnout have increased gradually because the increasing responsibilities of the home have pushed professional life into the background. While academic women could not find time to produce articles, cooking of female students has become more important than online classes they have to take.

In order to prevent these constantly reproduced roles with an innovative perspective and to draw attention to this problem, the Flying Broom Foundation is organizing the “Who Designs Domestic Labor?” Hackathon!

* This hackathon is organized with the contributions of the Canadian Embassy.
