The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 38
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Gender inequality in the family colludes with discrimination at work to further depress women's worker and human rights. For example, the disproportionate burden of household work falls to women across cultures, curtailing their mobility and limiting their employment opportunities. Shouldering the burden of unpaid care disenfranchises women and distances them from their rights to association at work because it forces women into part-time, on-call, at-home or underpaid care labour to enable them to continue their unpaid work. That often forces women into the informal, unprotected economy. Women generally work those jobs over longer lifespans than men, without job-related social protections, which exacts a heavy toll that includes entrenched impoverishment.
