And that: Lack of appropriate or affordable transport can prevent older women from accessing social services or participating in community and cultural activities. Such lack of access to transport could occur, for example, due to the lower income enjoyed by older women and the neglect in public policy to provide affordable and accessible public transport meeting the needs of older women.140 The CEDAW Committee has therefore recommended that states parties should “[e]nsure ... special attention given to covering the costs of transportation to judicial and quasi-judicial institutions and other services for women without sufficient means."141 The committee has also found that: Women who are unaware of their human rights are unable to make claims for the fulfilment of those rights. The Committee has observed, especially during its consideration of periodic reports submitted by States parties, that they often fail to guarantee that women have equal access to education, information and legal literacy programmes.142 Without the basis of understanding their rights, widows in Zimbabwe cannot adequately claim them. 140 Ibid., para. 24. 141 Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, “General recommendation on women’s access to justice,” para. 17(e). 142 Ibid., para. 32. “YOU WILL GET NOTHING” 48
