Answer 1

Answer:

here is the answer

Explanation:

How do gender stereotypes/stereotyping harm

women?

Discrimination against women includes those

differences of treatment that exist because of

stereotypical expectations, attitudes and behaviours

towards women. Just to give some examples:

- The Special Rapporteur on the rights to food pointed

out that stereotype about women’s role within the

family leads to a division of labour within households

that often result in time poverty for women and lower

levels of education. - The CEDAW Committee has highlighted how

traditional attitudes by which women are regarded as

subordinate to men perpetuate widespread practice

involving violence and coercion.

- Both CRC and the CEDAW Committee noted that

harmful practices are multidimensional and include

stereotyped sex and gender-based roles.

- The Special Rapporteur on violence against women

and the Special Rapporteur on independence of judges

and lawyers have stressed that the investigation of

cases of violence and the sanctioning of perpetrators

are underpinned by patriarchal notions and stereotypes

that negatively affect their objectivity and impartiality.

- A range of UN human rights mechanisms have

highlighted how stereotypes about women’s role can be

incorporated in discriminatory legislation, for example  

Prepared by: Women’s Rights and Gender Section, OHCHR Research and Right to Development Division

Rule of Law, Equality and Non-Discrimination Branch, contact:

preventing women from acquiring ownership of land

since only the “head of the household” is authorized to

sign official documentation.

- The Special rapporteur on the right to health has also

observed how societal norms are often based on

stereotypical beliefs about the need to regulate

women’s freedom, particularly with regard to sexual

identity and life, resulting into restrictions to sexual and

reproductive rights.
