Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 9
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The difficulties, intensity and gendered distribution of unpaid care work create and perpetuate unequal rights enjoyment and gender inequality, and cause human rights violations. States therefore have concrete obligations in this regard. Various international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities establish legally binding obligations that ought to compel States to address the issue of unpaid care.
