Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 59
Paragraph
Paragraph text
One of the most significant factors inhibiting women's capacity to participate in public life is men's failure to share unpaid care work, and the lack of services supporting this work. Intense and unequal care responsibilities often confine women to the domestic sphere, excluding them from paid work and public life and preventing them from participating in important decision-making processes at the community and national level.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
