Paragraph text
The principle of non-discrimination applies to all rights, and States are obliged to ensure that traditionally disenfranchised groups are able to enjoy their rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association. Article 4 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women requires States to take positive measures to secure equal enjoyment of rights for women, including assembly and association rights. The Committee on Migrant Workers requires States to encourage self-organization among migrant workers irrespective of their migration status, and to inform them about associations that can provide assistance.
