Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 31
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The lessons learned from the economic crisis and the impact of macroeconomic policies on women's economic opportunities can and should inform the post-2015 agenda. Grounding development priorities in women's human rights is not only a legal and moral imperative, but can also enhance effectiveness and accountability. In accordance with the proposal of UN-Women that gender equality must both be mainstreamed into all development goals and also remain a stand-alone goal, the Working Group recommends that transformative structural change as regards unpaid care functions be duly taken into account in a stand-alone goal of gender equality.
