Women, Business and Human Rights: paper for the UN Working Group on Discrimination Against Women in Law and Practice
Abstract
This paper examines remaining discriminatory legislation and other obstacles women face as business leaders and entrepreneurs. It also highlights examples of existing initiatives that provide lessons that can be built upon to contribute to continued elimination of discrimination against women in business. Furthermore, the paper examines the gender implications of the regulation of business and transnational corporations in the international human rights context and evaluates the gender responsiveness in the formulation and implementation of principles for the private sector to respect human rights. Given the breadth of these issue and the time within which the paper was developed, it provides an overview but is by no means exhaustive.
