Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 76 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Preparing children who have remained with their mothers in prison for integration back into society is a crucial step towards their ability to adjust to life outside, particularly for those who were born in prison or have no memory of life before prison. One report on India states that Many children born in prison have never experienced normal family life up to the age of four-five years. The socialization pattern of children gets severely affected due to their stay in prison. Their only image of a male authority figure is that of the police and prison officials. They are unaware of the concept of a "home". Boys sometimes talk in the female gender, having grown up only among women in the female ward. Sights like animals on roads frighten these children because of lack of exposure to the outside world. | Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Servile marriage 2012, para. 81 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Education is considered to be the strongest predictor of the age at which a girl will be married.

In Mozambique, approximately 60 per cent of uneducated girls are married by the age of 18 years, compared to 10 per cent of girls having completed secondary education and less than 1 per cent of girls having completed higher education. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Manifestations and causes of domestic servitude 2010, para. 22 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The Special Rapporteur is particularly concerned about the high number of children in domestic work (see section 2c). Children are often sought for domestic work as they are seen as cheaper, less demanding and easier to control than adults. There are large numbers of child domestic workers in all continents, with the highest number probably residing in Asia. For example, ILO reports that 175,000 children under 18 are employed in domestic service in Central America, more than 688,000 in Indonesia, 53,942 children under 15 in South Africa and 38,000 children between 5 and 7 in Guatemala. Girls constitute the vast majority of child domestic workers (90 per cent according to some estimates). According to ILO, more girls under 16 years are in domestic service than in any other category of child labour. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |
