Women’s right and the right to food 2013, para. 12
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Finally, women may face specific difficulties in reconciling their responsibilities in the care economy, particularly as regards the minding and educating of children of pre-school age, and their work on farms. The lack of access to child-care services in rural areas, combined with poor transportation services, sometimes leads women to bring the children with them on the plantation, as has been documented in the horticultural sector in Punjab, Pakistan, or in the informal settlements established near the plantations during the working season, as in South Africa.
