Regarding suggested point 8 (disaggregated indicators) above, the importance of gender-based indicators cannot be over-emphasized. Although indicators relating to women still require development and improvement in many areas, great strides have been made since the World Conference of the International Women's Year in 1975. As such, their availability and utility are frequently greater than that of other sub-categories of disaggregation.

**Analysis**
The text discusses the importance of indicators for economic, social, and cultural rights, highlighting the need for disaggregated data by gender, race, and other categories.
