Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 74
Paragraph
Paragraph text
A wide range of laws and legislation are relevant to addressing unpaid care work. These include employment law, anti-discrimination law, family law, and legislation focused specifically on carer's rights. States must go beyond gender-neutral responses and ensure that laws and policies in all these areas actively alleviate the disadvantages that unpaid caregivers experience. To this end, States should develop mechanisms to ensure that laws and policies do not have unintended adverse effects on unpaid caregivers and do not enforce or perpetuate gender stereotypes.
