UNITED NATIONS • Forum on Minority Issues programmes for minority women and support initiatives on the access of minority women to legal remedies, economic opportunities, education and health. 43. The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women) should take the lead on issues related to multiple or intersectional forms of discrimination faced by certain minority women, and collaborate with other agencies with a view to addressing those issues in an effective manner. The approach taken by UN-Women in putting emphasis on particularly vulnerable and marginalized groups should encompass a minority rights-based focus with a view to ensuring that the situation of minority women is addressed and mainstreamed into all their programmes, and that national frameworks ultimately cover the full range of women’s rights concerns. 44. Individual mandate holders and working groups of the Human Rights Council and special representatives of the Secretary-General mandated by the General Assembly are encouraged to continue to examine, where appropriate within their mandates, the situations of minority women and intersectional discrimination affecting them. The existing collaboration between special procedures mandate holders in this regard, at the United Nations level and with the regional mechanisms, should be further strengthened and consolidated. Greater collaboration could lead to a more efficient information-gathering process, enhanced discussions with States with a view to revising discriminatory laws and facilitate the exchange of best practices. 45. Treaty bodies should require States to provide information in their periodic State reports on the situation of minority women and on policies and programmes of the State to ensure the full enjoyment by minority women of their rights. 46. Treaty bodies should continue to develop and embrace a systematic approach to their consideration of multiple forms of discrimination, involving not only rural or vulnerable women but also minority women. They should ensure analysis of intersectional discrimination in all their work so that it reflects the realities of minority women, and should consider adopting general recommendations on minorities and minority women. 47. Treaty bodies should systematically consider cases where harmful practices breach the principle of equality, including family law, land, property and inheritance rights, and marital rights, and cases where other human rights of minority women and girls, such as the rights to life, health, dignity, education and physical integrity, may have been violated. 48. Within the context of the universal periodic review, all stakeholders, including Member States, non-governmental organizations and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, should require specific information relating to the situation of minority women in countries under review and make recommendations aimed at guaranteeing the rights of minority women. 54 Compilation of Recommendations of the First Four Sessions 2008 to 2011
