A/HRC/33/59 • Social security should be universal, but not uniform, ensuring specific and multiple vulnerabilities; and special temporary measures for socially and economically excluded groups including single women, female-headed households, migrants and migrant workers; Dalit, tribal; sexual and gender minorities; women with occupational stigma and women in conflict areas. • States should frame the reproductive and care role that women have as work. If a woman cannot do that work (because she is ill, disabled, etc.), she should get unemployment benefits. • Poor rural women do not have documents that are generally required to apply for state benefits. Therefore, social security schemes should not require bureaucratic administrative processes that alienate women. Instead, they should strive to be women- friendly in design. Many poor rural women are illiterate and therefore information about various schemes and benefits should be given a clear, simple, women-friendly way. 44
