Groups in need of attention, limitations to the right to freedom of expression, and protection of journalists 2010, para. 46 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Similarly, in its general recommendation No. 23, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (para. 20 (a)) states that one of the obstacles (in addition to illiteracy and a lack of knowledge and understanding of political systems) to the exercise of women's right to vote and to be elected is that their access to information about candidates, party political platforms and voting procedures is more restricted than men's. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur highlights shortcomings in civil registry systems that must be remedied. | Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression | Special Procedures' report |
