The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (“the Committee”) acknowledges the vital contributions of rural women and the urgent need to improve recognition and protection of their human rights. Through its previous Concluding Observations and General Recommendations, the Committee has identified various ways in which rural women continue to face discrimination. In this General Recommendation (GR), the Committee clarifies State obligations to ensure the rights of rural women, with a focus on article 14 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (“the Convention”) which recognizes the unique situation of rural women and highlights specific obligations of States parties in recognizing, promoting and protecting their rights.
