Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- There are fewer programmes for women, and those that are available are less varied and of poorer quality than those offered to male detainees. Several countries' prisons limit the educational opportunities provided to prisoners by tailoring them to gender stereotypes, and only offer vocational opportunities that conform to traditionally feminine occupations including hairstyling, sewing, vegetable-selling and catering. Male prisoners, on the other hand, are given opportunities to learn about building, welding and carpentry.

Paragraph
Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- A holistic approach to addressing the relationship between inequality and violence against women allows for the matching of local level responses that best address the particular needs related to violence in their specific contexts. One example would be literacy programmes for rural women. In many contexts, rural women and also recent immigrants have lower literacy rates than their urban counterparts and citizens of the country. Therefore, a way to eliminate one form of intra-gender inequality is to improve access to literacy programmes and educational opportunities. Such programmes can also lead to women accessing other programmes and resources to address violence against them.
