Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 98 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | In particular, quality and affordable care services for carers and parents can have a major positive impact on the human rights of both caregivers and receivers. Investment in childcare, elder care and disability support should therefore be increased, prioritizing disadvantaged and underserved areas. The services should be affordable, and provided free to those who cannot afford to pay. In particular, all women should have economic and physical access to high-quality, culturally appropriate childcare for children under school age, including children with disabilities. As well as having a major positive impact on women's right to work, quality early childhood education accessible to people living in poverty has many proven benefits for children and society as a whole. Innovative approaches such as mobile crèches should be considered in order to reach communities living in poverty. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 87 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | States must ensure that social protection systems do not create significant inequalities between those who have an interrupted participation in the labour force - due for example to parenthood, care for older persons or persons with disabilities - and those who do not. At a minimum, States must provide universal non-contributory social pensions that are sufficient for an adequate standard of living, and ensure that women living in poverty can access them. The introduction of carer credits into a country's pension or superannuation system can provide a method of explicitly recognizing those years spent providing unpaid care. | Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights | Special Procedures' report |

Older women and protection of their human rights 2010, para. 32 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | In order to support legal reform and policy formulation, States parties are urged to collect, analyse and disseminate data disaggregated by age and sex, so as to have information on the situation of older women, including those living in rural areas, areas of conflict, belonging to minority groups, and with disabilities. Such data should especially focus, among other issues, on poverty, illiteracy, violence, unpaid work, including care- giving to those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, migration, access to health care, housing, social and economic benefits and employment. | Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women | General Comment / Recommendation |
