Violence against women 1992, para. 15 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Poverty and unemployment force many women, including young girls, into prostitution.

They need the equal protection of laws against rape and other forms of violence. | Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women | General Comment / Recommendation |

The right to education (Art. 13) 1999, para. 24 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | [The right to fundamental education] It should be emphasized that enjoyment of the right to fundamental education is not limited by age or gender; it extends to children, youth and adults, including older persons. Fundamental education, therefore, is an integral component of adult education and life-long learning. Because fundamental education is a right of all age groups, curricula and delivery systems must be devised which are suitable for students of all ages | Committee on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights | General Comment / Recommendation |

Women migrant workers 2008, para. 11 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Women migrant workers may face sex- and gender-based discrimination, including compulsory HIV and AIDS testing for women returnees, moral "rehabilitation" for young women returnees and increased personal and social costs compared to men, without adequate gender-responsive services. For example, men may return to a stable family situation, whereas women may find disintegration of the family upon their return, with their absence from home regarded as the cause of such disintegration. There may also be a lack of protection against reprisals from exploitative recruiting agents. | Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women | General Comment / Recommendation |

The right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health 2013, para. 9 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Gender-based discrimination is particularly pervasive, affecting a wide range of outcomes, from female infanticide/foeticide to discriminatory infant and young child feeding practices, gender stereotyping and access to services. Attention should be given to the differing needs of girls and boys, and the impact of gender-related social norms and values on the health and development of boys and girls. Attention also needs to be given to harmful gender-based practices and norms of behaviour that are ingrained in traditions and customs and undermine the right to health of girls and boys. | Committee on the Rights of the Child | General Comment / Recommendation |
