Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 34
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Persons living in poverty face greater and disproportionate barriers and disincentives in accessing registration services, which are often geographically distant for them, time-consuming and unaffordable. The travel costs to access registration services are added to relatively high fees charged for the issuance of identity documents and to the working time lost. These costs are more burdensome for the poor.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
