Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 20
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Effective elimination of discrimination against women in economic and social life requires gender-responsive and effective accountability systems. Although there are some judicial decisions on discrimination against women in economic and social life at the international, regional and national levels, their number is disturbingly low. The enhancement of women's legal literacy, including poor and rural women, is necessary to ensure women's equal access to judicial remedies.
