Large-scale development project and human rights defenders 2013, para. 40
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Those responsible for large-scale development projects should pay particular attention to multiple grounds of discrimination, as the intersection of such grounds could lead to different and even more adverse effects among those affected by the projects (see general comment No. 20, on article 2 (2) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights). For example, women in a rural community are likely to experience the effects of such projects differently from men, and their economic and social status could aggravate this situation. Those defending women's rights face particular challenges and additional risks linked to the work that they do and the issues they face are challenging, which is why it is important that they be able to do their work without incurring retaliation of any sort.
