Danish Institute for Human Rights publishes mapping on women in business & human rights

"Women in business and human rights", 21 Nov 2018

This mapping provides an overview of select topics for attention for states in strengthening their gender focus in United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) implementation processes, including, but not limited to, National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights (NAPs).

The topics are:

  1. Employment and labour rights
  2. Land and natural resources
  3. Essential services and privatisation
  4. Trade and investment
  5. Access to effective remedy

For each topic, the mapping provides an overview of key gender issues, country examples from existing NAPs and other relevant sources on how these issues might be addressed, and key points for consideration for states on how to strengthen attention to the rights of women and girls in UNGPs implementation processes.
