Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 69
Paragraph
Paragraph text
When States do not adequately provide, fund, value and regulate care, women inevitably take on a greater share of its provision, to the detriment of their enjoyment of human rights. States must therefore adopt all necessary policy measures in order to achieve the recognition, reduction and redistribution of unpaid care work. The international human rights framework, which rests strongly on the principles of non-discrimination and equality, and the obligations and accountability of States, must be an important source of guidance in this regard.
