A/HRC/29/46/Add.1 inspection by officials of the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans of vessels on which foreign seafarers are employed; establish a reporting mechanism for foreign seafarers to register violations and abuse by their employer and co-workers from the Republic of Korea, accessible in their languages; and take rapid action, including appropriate sanctions when such violations are found. On marriage migrants and multicultural families 72. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government grant equal rights, in the case of separation or divorce, to migrant women married to men who are nationals of the Republic of Korea, including with regard to stability of residency, notwithstanding the outcome or duration of the marriage and whether or not any children were born from the union. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the Government work towards ending the practice of requiring men who are nationals of the Republic of Korea and who wish to marry women from certain countries to undergo the international marriage orientation programme; ensure that international marriage agencies whose staff exhibit racism and sexism are properly sanctioned; and conduct a wide-ranging public awareness campaign to end racism and xenophobia concerning international marriages, including redefining the concept of multicultural families and recognizing the benefits they bring to society. 73. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the Government ensure that foreign women who are victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, trafficking or other forms of violence be informed of their rights and given proper access to justice. Women victims of violence should be given the right to legally remain in the country if they so wish. 74. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the Government broaden the definition of multicultural families to include unions between foreigners or interethnic unions in order to integrate those who are presently excluded from the social benefits provided for under the Multicultural Families Support Act. 75. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the authorities revise the school curriculum in order to raise awareness and promote acceptance of multiculturalism and the contribution of migrants to society from an early age. The Special Rapporteur recalls that education is fundamental in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and in promoting the principles of tolerance and respect to ethnic, religious and cultural diversity. On racism and xenophobic discourse promoted by private actors 76. The Special Rapporteur calls upon the Government to strengthen mechanisms for preventing and eliminating xenophobic discourse against foreigners, migrants and multicultural families, including among politicians and political leaders. That phenomenon should be tackled at all levels, including at the national, regional and local levels. The Special Rapporteur recalls that leaders have a responsibility to strongly denounce such discourse, including when it comes from within their own ranks. In particular, politicians from mainstream political parties should avoid xenophobic discourse and the scapegoating of foreigners, migrant workers and multicultural families, and promptly denounce false allegations, especially those concerning social benefits and programmes supporting the integration of migrants and multicultural families and children. The Special Rapporteur also recommends collecting disaggregated data and statistics on the number of cases of racism and xenophobia reported to the authorities, including the percentage of investigations and prosecutions undertaken following such complaints and their outcome. 17
