Annotation:
This General Recommendation is of particular significance in that it explicitly recognizes that racial discrimination does not always affect women and men in the same way. Racial discrimination, therefore, will often escape detection if it is not understood in the context of gendered life experiences. The Committee expresses its commitment to integrating gender perspectives into its work and to that end, requests that State Parties include gender specific information in their reports to the Committee.
