Eliminating discrimination against women in political and public life with a focus on political transition 2013, para. 58
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Patriarchal and discriminatory family law or practice may limit women's freedom of occupation and freedom of movement in the public space. In some countries, men are still regarded by law as the head of household, barring women from representing their families in official decision-making processes on public affairs, including on development projects and issues of good governance, which have an impact on women and their families. The system of heads of household has been abrogated in many countries' legal systems.
