Helping Women to Manage their home and Job Responsibilities.

Challenge

I am a coordinator at x organization which support and against the violence subject to the women and  children in X refugee camp so that they can live in life with no violence and with peace. In addition, we  collaborate with families to help them to solve the challenges they face and solve some conflicts raised.  The challenge is that the women who has a job experience many conflicts in their families because they  don’t prepare food to their children on time, cleaning and washing cloths and other domestic activities  they are responsible. Also, they struggle to meet deadline of the work related responsibilities and those  cause issue in their families and at their workplace. We tried to solve the issue in their families and we  have thought about the sustainable solution that can eradicate those issue at home and job.

Selection

My team and I went through design thinking process to solve that problem. We have used leaning  launch tool and mapping tool as a way of solving this issue. Mapping tool helped us to gather the data  from the women who have a job and families using chart and spreadsheet. This helped us to define well  the real problem. Also, we used launch tool as a way of experimenting and prototyping the selected  solution to gather the feedback from the end users and test to see if it works or not.

Application

First of all, we collected the data using the in person interview, and group discussion to see what is the  real problem and it causes for better solving it. We can up with the problem which is that the women  are struggling with managing home and job responsibilities because of many responsibilities with little  time they have.

After understanding the problem, we brainstormed possible solutions to the problem such as preparing  a workshop about time management, preparing a workshop about stress management, and workshop  about gender balance.

We analyzed each and every solution which can be fit with problem, ability and resources we have. We  selected the workshop about time management to solve the conflicts within the families. We went to  the community and gather the targeted women who have job and families and discuss about how they  currently use to manage their home and job responsibilities. Then, we help them to know different tool  of managing time including prioritization matrix, google calendar, and schedule.

Insight

The end users appreciated the workshop and suggested to invite their husband to learn more about the  importance of gender balance. We actually applied their feedback. The men have been invited and  attend the workshop about gender balance. This workshop was helpful because men learnt different  way of helping the wife and work collaboratively to achieve family goal and organization’s goal. Three  month later, the conflicts were no longer appeared in their families. This was a great impact to our  community.

Approach

My team and I went thought different designing process to solve the issue happened in our community.   Mapping tool and learning launch helped me much on this process of solving the conflicts raised in the  families that women have jobs. In the future, I want to prepare a workshop about time management  both genders because the men also need to know how to manage their time. This is because, the  woman may have a schedule of what she will do in a day, but the man brings other things do which she  didn’t play. In that time, man prevent the woman to manage the time. Reason why, both need to be  trained that they can know what to do first, delegate, plan, and reject by prioritization matrix.
