Minority rights-based approaches to the protection and promotion of the rights of religious minorities 2013, para. 56
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Women frequently experience multiple or intersecting forms of discrimination emanating from their status as members of religious minorities and as women or girls. This may make women and girls belonging to religious minorities particularly vulnerable to violations of their rights in both public and private life. Women from religious minorities are often particularly poorly represented in public, economic and political life, and efforts should be made to encourage and facilitate their participation and integration in all walks of life.
