represents a constellation of measures to make women visible in national statistics and in government
budgets, especially as regards their economic contributions (including the value of unpaid work). These
measures also bear an important relationship with PM 31 in the chapter on ageing, social protection and
socioeconomic challenges. Again with reference to unpaid work, PM 53, which seeks to develop and
strengthen universal care policies and systems, relates directly to PMs 59 and 61 and depends, to some
extent, on fulfillingPM64.
Together with PMs 51 and 52, PM 48 constitutes a group of priority measures to achieve equal
participation for women in the formulation and implementation of public policies and in decision-making
at all levels.
Priority measures 54, 55 and 56 constitute a group of measures that seek to eliminate gender
disparities in theworkplace. PM 54 is of broader scopewith respect to labourmarket asymmetries, and is
relatedwithPMs 53, 62 and 64 in terms of recognizing the productive value of unpaid domesticwork and
care-giving. On the other hand, PMs 55 and 56 focus on more specific aspects, such as encouraging
businesswomen to adopt leadership roles and combating sexual harassment in theworkplace.
Lastly, prioritymeasures 57 and 58 are devoted to eliminating the various forms of violence and
discrimination against women, and bear directly on important specialized mechanisms such as the
Convention of Belém do Pará for the prevention, punishment and eradication of violence against women
and theConvention on theElimination ofAll Forms ofDiscrimination againstWomen.
