Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- In many countries in the global South, growing numbers of women are compelled to migrate in order to provide for the future of their family, often as a result of shortages of well-remunerated jobs at home. Often migrant women take on jobs abroad as domestic workers, in what has been called the "global care chain". Migrant workers therefore fill the unmet need for care services in the richer destinations, while family members that remain at home must devise new strategies for reorganizing tasks and care responsibilities in their absence. Overall, this intensifies the care deficit in poorer countries.

Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 77
- Paragraph text
- Despite States' obligation to ensure that individuals facing a criminal charge have access to a free interpreter (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, art. 14.3 (f)), often this service is limited, unavailable or reserved for those who speak a foreign language, rather than a minority language or local dialect, and is rarely provided in civil cases. The issue of language disproportionately disadvantages women, who are not only less likely to speak the predominant language and require an interpreter, but who are also vulnerable to abuse or exploitation by interpreters, whose cultural prejudices may inform their translation.

Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- Women's migration generally does not prompt changes in the sexual division of labour; the extra unpaid care responsibilities usually fall to older women and girls within the household or community. These global care chains reflect and, in some ways, exacerbate enormous inequalities in terms of class, gender and ethnicity. The people who make up the chains, from the first to the last link, are almost exclusively female, often belong to an ethnic minority in their destination country, and generally cannot rely on State support for their care responsibilities.

Social protection and old age poverty 2010, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- Several treaties contain specific references to old age. The Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women stipulates "the right to social security, particularly in cases of retirement, unemployment, sickness, invalidity and old age and other incapacity to work" (art. 11). It is also understood that the prohibition of discrimination included in major human rights treaties is understood as non-exhaustive; therefore, even if age is not mentioned specifically as a prohibitive ground for discrimination, it should still be accepted under "other status". The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families specifically identifies age as a prohibited ground for discrimination.

Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- Such factors often act as a persuasive deterrent against seeking redress from judicial or adjudicatory mechanisms, or may indeed represent an insurmountable obstacle for the poorest and most marginalized. This is especially so for those who have limited mobility, such as older persons or persons with disabilities, or those for whom travel is more difficult or dangerous, including women and children.
