GreenLine Childcare
Campaigns:Civic Action Now - Cyprus
Proposal code: Pusula / Ππούσουλας-2022-11-176
Improve interactions and participation of young parents and women in multi-cultural events & peacebuilding
Establish childcare facilities at Ledra Palace crossing, so those with children can be more active in this multi-communal space, participate in dance lessons, drum circles, peacebuilding efforts...
Women are usually less active in civic efforts, have less time for their hobbies, they are less represented in the multi-communial space, mainly because they carry most of the childcare duties and have less personal time. Providing free or cheap childcare options would first and foremost help facilitate women's participation. Also, this could be turned into a communal reciprocity affair, where some elements can be volunteer, some paid. Technicalities can be figured out, but it could be a collaborative cooperative effort. There are multiple examples around the world, from collecting tokens by donating your time which can be exchanged for free childcare, to other in-kind and reciprocal exchanges.
One way would be to join this global volunteer group: https://www.volunteerhq.org/gb/family-volunteering/
