In Bogotá, Colombia, care work — often overlooked and unpaid — eats up more than 35 billion hours of labor per year. It’s a burden which falls disproportionately on women, and can leave little time for other parts of life. But Bogotá is also the center of a “care revolution,” where innovative neighborhood hubs are centering caregivers themselves, not just the work they do. In this month’s Highlight cover story, Rachel Cohen Booth travels to Bogotá to investigate what it looks like when a society decides to take women’s unpaid work seriously. Also in this issue: The case for intentional podcast listening. A new generation of tools to fight malaria. And ahead of Giving Tuesday, advice for giving better and doing good.
