A/HRC/33/59 • Inclure les obligations des États à garantir la stabilité de l’emploi et un revenu décent pour les travailleurs et les travailleurs migrants, dans le respect le plus strict des instruments nationaux et internationaux. Programme on Women’s Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, South Asian Feminist Alliance for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and Community Self-Reliance Centre Article 13 • Women should be provided full and safe access to public spaces or commons and markets. • States should ensure equal access and participation in markets – both for labour and goods. Rural women should have opportunities to gain better skills and knowledge to participate in markets equally and for their upward mobility. • States should monitor and regulate markets to ensure rural women receive fair prices for their products. • Financial inclusion of rural women is very important: Concept of womenfriendly bank with easy administrative processes and mobile banking available to women in remote areas. Article 18 • States should recognize, promote and protect rural women’s right to livelihoods including opportunities for employment (paid work). • Rural women should have individual rights over productive resources (including natural resources) for sustainable livelihoods – irrespective of who they are and where they come from. States should ensure access, ownership, control and management including decision-making power of productive resources and its outputs. This includes land, water, forests, livestock, credit, energy, technology, knowledge, education, skills. • Development agendas should recognize that rural women traditionally and historically have skills and knowledge for livelihoods that ensure food security for all. • Ensure all benefits including agriculture subsidies are received by women equally. • All State programmes and schemes that have provisions for livelihoods should engage rural women’s collectives in this process. For example, the right to education in India provides free, compulsory primary education to all. Under this right India provides free school uniform and mid day meals to all kids. Making of these school uniforms and preparation of mid day meals should be given to rural women’s collectives. This would promote rural women’s livelihoods. • Mobility is a challenge for rural women. For instance, unless there is a transportation subsidy, rural women cannot travel to access basic goods and services including education, health, employment, banking etc. • Research in agriculture should be gender sensitive and based on women peasant needs. 34
