A/HRC/38/L.1/Rev.1 showing that women have substantially fewer opportunities than men to participate meaningfully in the economy and in decision-making processes at all levels and areas, to have control over assets, including land, are more likely to be unemployed or underemployed, to be paid less for equal work or work of equal value, to be engaged in precarious work with limited legal and social protections, and that women and girls undertake a disproportionate share of unpaid care and domestic work, Stressing the need to promote the right of women to work and their full, equal and meaningful participation in the economy and in decision-making processes at all levels and areas, ensuring access to economic resources, including land and natural resources, and equal pay for equal work or work of equal value, decent paid care and domestic work by providing social protection and safe work conditions, and to develop and promote policies that facilitate the reconciliation and equal sharing of work and family responsibilities for both women and men, Recognizing that the right to work and just and favourable working conditions, and the right to non-discrimination and gender equality, combined with the right to sexual and reproductive health, also requires States to ensure employment with maternity protection and parental leave for workers, including workers in vulnerable situations, as well as protection from sexual harassment in the workplace and the prohibition of discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth or parenthood, Expressing profound concern at the backlash against the progress made by States, international and regional organizations, and civil society, including women’s and community-based organizations, feminist groups, women human rights defenders, trade unions and girls’ and youth-led organizations to respect, protect and fulfil all human rights, and recognizing that these retrogressions can be linked to economic crisis and inequality, retrogressive lobbies and political or religious interpretations that oppose the struggle for women’s and girls’ equal rights, Recognizing the differing needs of girls and women at different ages and stages of their lives, and the various patterns of discrimination that affect their day-to-day reality, Recognizing also that discrimination against women and girls is inherently linked to deep-rooted gender stereotypes, that discriminatory attitudes, behaviours, norms, perceptions, customs and harmful practices, such as female genital mutilation and child, early and forced marriage, have direct negative implications for the status and treatment of women and girls and that gender-biased environments promote impunity and impede the implementation of legislative and normative frameworks that guarantee gender equality and prohibit discrimination against women and girls, Strongly condemning discrimination and gender-based violence against women and girls in all its forms, in digital contexts and offline, in public and private spaces, including harassment, sexual and online harassment, domestic violence, including intimate partner violence, ex-partner violence, stalking and so-called ”honour-based” violence, and recognizing that they constitute violations or abuses of women’s and girls’ human rights and are a manifestation of gender inequality and a major impediment to the achievement of women’s economic empowerment, independence and social and economic development, imposing short- and long-term costs on society and individuals, Recognizing the importance of relevant standards of the International Labour Organization relating to the realization of women’s right to work and rights at work that are critical for women’s economic empowerment, and welcoming the work undertaken by the Organization towards the development of a convention and a recommendation on violence and harassment in the workplace, Reaffirming that the full enjoyment of all human rights by women and girls includes their right to have control over and to decide freely and responsibly on matters relating to their sexuality, including sexual and reproductive health, free of coercion, discrimination and violence, and that equal relationships in matters of sexual relations and reproduction, including full respect for the dignity, integrity and bodily autonomy of the person, require mutual respect, consent and shared responsibility for sexual behaviour and its consequences, in accordance with international human rights law, 3
