Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 27
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- It is hard to think of a human right that is not potentially affected in some way by the unequal distribution and difficulty of unpaid care work. In this section, the focus is on specific economic, social and cultural rights as well as the right to participation, but this should not be interpreted as an exhaustive list. Excessive burdens of unpaid care work may threaten the enjoyment of other human rights by caregivers, such as freedoms of speech, association and assembly. Moreover, because unpaid care work is so time-consuming and arduous, especially for women living in poverty, women are often unable to enjoy their right to rest and leisure .
