    Nuestra contribución evidenció, aparte de los avances en el reconocimiento del trabajo sexual autónomo en el país, las personas trabajadoras sexuales aún enfrentan condiciones laborales inaceptables, detenciones ilegales y agresiones por parte de la Policía, incluyendo varios casos de violación sexual. Delitos que quedan en la impunidad. La razón primaria de todos ellos es el estigma hacia el trabajo sexual y la discriminación hacia las personas trabajadoras sexuales.

    • Read more about HRC 58: Gender Alliance for Development Center and SRI Statement on the UPR Adoption of Albania
    Statement
    Despite policy advancements in Albania, significant gaps remain in the protection and support of workers, particularly women in rural areas. Labour rights violations persist, especially for women who face systemic barriers to employment and economic security. Whilst the government adopted the National Strategy for Employment and Skills (2023–2030), rural women remain disproportionately excluded from the workforce​. Limited access to childcare, a lack of vocational training, and deep-rooted gender norms restrict their participation, leaving them vulnerable to poverty and economic dependence.

    Statement
    The liquidity crisis has led to cuts in Special Procedures’ activities and limited engagement opportunities for rights holders. States cannot continue defunding the Special Procedures system, which they have created, thereby preventing them from fulfilling their essential mandates. States must pay their dues in full and on time. We ask the Coordination Committee and the Secretariat to regularly update and consult with civil society on the impact of the liquidity crisis and other challenges and developments affecting Special Procedures and OHCHR, and to make that information public and easily accessible.

    • Read more about HRC 58: SRI Statement to the Interactive dialogue with the Independent Expert on foreign debt
    Statement
    We welcome the Independent Expert’s report. As it remarks, Global South countries are most affected by a climate crisis they did not cause and by an inequitable global financial system. They are struggling with increasing debt levels, forced to borrow more money, often just to repay existing debts, with IMF- and World Bank-imposed austerity measures, including cuts to public spending and privatization of essential services affecting disproportionately women, children, elderly, racialized and marginalized communities.

    Statement
    Apreciamos al informe de la Experta Independiente. Como señala, los países del Sur Global son los más afectados por una crisis climática que no causaron y por un sistema financiero global injusto, y están luchando con niveles de deuda cada vez mayores, obligados a pedir más dinero, a menudo solo para pagar las deudas existentes, con medidas de austeridad impuestas por el FMI y el Banco Mundial, incluidos recortes al gasto público y privatización de servicios esenciales que afectan desproporcionadamente a mujeres, comunidades racializadas, la niñez, personas adultas mayores y las comunidades marginadas.

    Statement
    More action is needed to address the intersectional challenges of women with disabilities living in rural areas, including young and indigenous women and other structurally excluded communities. Investment in developing the leadership of such women is key. We call for urgent implementation measures to combat violence based on gender and disability, including femicides. Even when legal frameworks exist, implementation, access to justice and to crisis centers are extremely limited for women with disabilities.

    Statement
    Housing is more than shelter. It is a fundamental determinant of health, safety, and well-being. Migrants, particularly those with irregular status, face systemic barriers to securing safe housing, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation, ill health, displacement, gender-based violence, and human rights violations. In Canada, many migrant workers, especially in agricultural and caregiving sectors, and international students endure overcrowded and unsafe conditions with little recourse when facing exploitation, violence, or eviction.

    Statement
    We should not need the numbers to know that we are pushing millions of people into a health crisis. In the 80s and 90s, millions of people died from AIDS-related illnesses that were treatable and from HIV transmission that was preventable. Callous and calculating states, along with unregulated pharma companies, made it clear that those most affected were disposable – while those who could pay were a source of profit.

    Le Conseil des droits de l’homme (CDH) des Nations Unies a tenu sa 57e session du 9 septembre au 11 octobre 2024. La crise de liquidités actuelle des Nations Unies, qui affecte profondément le fonctionnement du CDH, a une fois de plus imposé un fardeau supplémentaire et considérable aux organisations de la société civile – en particulier pour l’accès aux modalités hybrides et l’organisation d’événements parallèles.
