Gender equality in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2016, para. 11
Paragraph
Document type
Special Procedures' report
Paragraph text
Laws, policies and strategies should not inadvertently reinforce gender stereotypes but should seek to transform them. It is important that policies and strategies explicitly mention the different experiences of men and women and marginalized groups, otherwise documents that may seem gender-neutral will hide important differences between genders and will in practice benefit some persons more than others with regard to water and sanitation.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Procedures: Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
