The right to adequate clothing, or the right to clothing, is recognized as a human right in various international human rights instruments; this, together with the right to food and the right to housing, are parts of the right to an adequate standard of living as recognized under Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The right to clothing is similarly recognized under Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). ==Beneficiaries== The right to clothing forms an aspect of the right to an adequate standard of living, and as such, is regarded as something that needs to be ensured so as to prevent people from living below the poverty line. Indeed, being ill-clothed is emblematic of acute poverty: To illustrate how far-reaching the right to clothing potentially is, Dr Stephen James has provided a non-exhaustive list of beneficiaries of the right to minimum clothing. Included on this list are those sections of society that suffer the greatest from a lack of clothing, such as: * The poor, including the unemployed, under-employed and working poor; * Pensioners and others dependent on social security; * The homeless and others in inadequate shelter; * Those in emergency accommodation (for example, women's refuges), whether of a state or private character (including charitable accommodation); * The elderly, whether in privately owned or rented accommodation, or state, commercial or charitable nursing homes, hospitals and hospices; * Persons suffering from serious mental illness or from intellectual or physical disabilities (whether the live at home independently, with family members or others, or in Community Residential Units, half-way houses, public or private hospitals and other institutions); * Children and adolescents, especially orphans and juvenile offenders in foster care, state institutions or detention centres; * The ill and injured in hospitals (or rehabilitation centres), including those being treated for alcoholism and other drug-related dependencies; * Prisoners, on remand or otherwise; * Workers in hazardous industries (for instance, chemical manufacturing and mining industries), or working under generally oppressive conditions (for example, sweatshops), whose lives or health depend on protective clothing (including child workers); * Indigenous persons living in impoverished conditions; * Refugees, asylum-seekers, and migrant workers (especially those working in the black market as 'illegal aliens'); and, * The victims of natural disasters, civil unrest, civil and international war (including prisoners of war), genocidal persecutions and other traumatic dislocations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「right to clothing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
