Paragraph
Groups in need of attention, limitations to the right to freedom of expression, and protection of journalists 2010, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- Everyone has the right to access the information needed to form opinions or to take decisions. However, women, in particular, have sometimes been denied full enjoyment of this right and, in extreme cases, this has led to them being denied information or the education they need. In cases where the State has failed to promote and ensure access to information and education, to means of expressing opinions, and to health and anti-violence programmes, this failure has had a negative impact on women's ability to make informed decisions freely. Therefore, the Special Rapporteur considers that Governments should prioritize women's education and access to information in their public policies.
