Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 89 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | A disproportionate amount of unpaid care work falls on women, limiting women's capacity to engage in paid work. This is evidenced in empirical studies which show that women, whether or not they are in paid employment, spend between twice to four times the amount of hours on care functions than do men. Up to 90 per cent of home care due to illness is performed by women and girls. | Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice | Special Procedures' report |

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.

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. 16 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Women are disadvantaged economically as a result of social and cultural parameters, including stereotyping, discrimination and violence. A structural barrier to women's economic empowerment is the disparate feminization of unpaid care responsibilities. These cultural and structural barriers appear throughout girls' and women's life cycle and, indeed, women's economic situation varies throughout their life cycle more than men's. | Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice | Special Procedures' report |
