Eliminating discrimination against women in cultural and family life, with a focus on the family as a cultural space 2015, para. 73d (vi) | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | [According to general recommendation No. 29 of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, the family is a social and legal construct and, in various countries, a religious construct. It also is an economic construct. The Working Group recommends that States:] Assess, quantify and take account of the impact of women and girls' status in the family in all poverty-reduction policies. | Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice | Special Procedures' report |

Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 100 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Discriminatory laws and practice prevail in most countries. Some such laws are self-evident, such as mandatory early retirement for women. Some are what has been called "statistical discrimination", such as separate annuity tables for women and men based on women's greater longevity. Others are the result of the sociology of the family and of legislative policy endorsing and perpetuating the economic dependence of women on a husband's income and pension entitlement. | Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice | Special Procedures' report |

Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 37 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Ensuring girls' education may require protecting their families against economic shocks and incentivizing parents to keep their girls in school. Cash transfer programmes, for example, have assisted families in return for committing to keeping their girls and boys in school and attending regular health checks, or by providing a stipend to girls who agree to delay marriage until they complete secondary education. Such programmes have been successful in decreasing girls' dropout rates. | Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice | Special Procedures' report |

Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 90 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Unlike women's reproductive function, care functions do not necessarily have to fall on women. All forms of care, including childcare, are amenable to social reconstruction, and indeed in the Nordic countries, which have long pursued a policy of gender equality in the division of work and childcare functions, the distribution of care work comes close to parity. Good practice regarding the allocation of care responsibilities, pioneered in the Nordic countries, encourages men to enter traditionally women's worlds, both in the family and in the workplace, thus allowing women to participate and advance in the labour market. | Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice | Special Procedures' report |

Eliminating discrimination against women in political and public life with a focus on political transition 2013, para. 63 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Good practice regarding the work-life balance for public and political participation includes both childcare support and institutional family-friendly scheduling. The highest performing countries in terms of proportion of women in public office have the most generous entitlements for maternal and parental leave. This reflects States' effectiveness in creating better options for women to reconcile the balance between work and family life, promoting a better balance of responsibilities between men and women in the home and encouraging a higher percentage of fathers to take parental leave. This demonstrates a significant cultural change in society's views of gender roles, which is itself a culmination of decades of responsive social policies. Good practices regarding gender-sensitive parliaments are found in some Western European and other States that have changed the scheduling of parliamentary session to allow a work-life balance for Members of Parliament who have parental responsibilities. | Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice | Special Procedures' report |
