V. Relationship with other articles of the Convention 66. Article 5 of the Convention, on equality and non-discrimination, requires States parties to promote inclusive equality and eliminate discrimination – direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, denial of reasonable accommodation, harassment and discrimination by association – in all matters of work, employment and the employment cycle. Furthermore, women with disabilities, gender-nonconforming persons with disabilities, older persons with disabilities and young persons with disabilities face an intersection of barriers, related to sex, gender, age and disability, that limit opportunities to work, adversely affect enjoyment of the right to equal pay for work of equal value and increase the risk of violence and harassment in the workplace. 67.

Such barriers include sexual harassment, unequal pay for work 55 14 Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, general comment No. 23 (2016), para. 65.
