Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 103
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The time burden of unpaid care work for women living in poverty can be significantly alleviated if there is adequate infrastructure in place in their communities - particularly through reduced time spent on travel to workplaces or markets, meal preparation, water collection and fuel collection. The availability, access to, and use of, critical infrastructure must therefore be significantly improved, prioritizing disadvantaged areas such as remote rural communities and informal settlements, explicitly seeking to provide better access for these communities to work and services.
