Human rights based approach to recovery from the global economic and financial crises, with a focus on those living in poverty 2011, para. 79
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Recovery measures should prioritize investments in education and skill development for women and girls, provide investment in sectors where women make up a considerable proportion of the labour force (such as in export manufacturing) and undertake gender budgeting to ensure that women benefit equally from public investments. Policymakers must design, implement, monitor and evaluate initiatives through a gender lens, so that policies are able to address asymmetries of power and structural inequalities, and enhance the realization of women's rights.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
