Paragraphe
Paragraph text
While gender stereotypes pervade all aspects of human existence, women's rights are at particular risk in the family, which is a locus for the perpetuation of traditional values. The family is a product of patriarchal culture and a vital institution for upholding the patriarchy. The Working Group emphasizes that women's equal rights in the family are closely linked to their rights in all areas of life, including public and political life and social, economic and cultural life.
