The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (hereinafter referred to as {\textquotedblleft}the Committee{\textquotedblright}), concerned about the multiple forms of discrimination experienced by older women and that older women{\textquoteright}s rights are not systematically addressed in States parties{\textquoteright} reports, at its forty-second session, pursuant to article 21 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (hereinafter referred to as {\textquotedblleft}the Convention{\textquotedblright}), decided to adopt a general recommendation on older women and protection of their human rights.2. In its decision 26/III, the Committee recognized that the Convention {\textquotedblleft}is an important tool for addressing the specific issue of the human rights of older women{\textquotedblright}. General Recommendation No. 25, on article 4, paragraph 1, of the Convention on temporary special measures (see E/CN.6/2004/CRP.3, annex I) also recognises that age is one of the grounds on which women suffer multiple forms of discrimination. In particular, the Committee recognized the need for statistical data disaggregated by age and sex as a way to better assess the situation of older women.\&nbsp;},
