this regard, cooperation and partnerships with non-governmental organizations,
welfare organizations and community-based organizations at the grass-roots level are
strongly encouraged. In the long term, regularization of migrants in irregular
situations should be considered, so as to better protect their right to adequate housing.

States should ensure that evictions are carried out only in exceptional
circumstances and in accordance with international human rights law. Affected
individuals should be fully consulted and informed in advance of any planned
evictions in languages they understand, and should be provided with alternative
accommodation and compensation, and due process rights. In this regard, the Special
Rapporteur encourages States to refer to the Basic Principles and Guidelines on
Development-Based Evictions and Displacement formulated by the Special
Rapporteur on adequate housing (A/HRC/4/18, annex).
90.
States should fully take into account factors which affect access to housing by
migrant women and girls. In particular, States should develop mechanisms to monitor
workplace conditions of migrant women, especially where they are required to reside
with their employers. States should ensure that migrant women workers have equal
protection of the law and should provide accommodation for those who wish to leave
abusive employers in the meantime.100
91.
States should provide parents and others responsible for the child with material
assistance and support programmes, particularly with regard to housing. Irregular
migrant families and their children should be provided with a minimum level of
housing which ensures their basic needs. Throughout the process, the best interest of
the child should be the paramount concern and the guiding principle.
92.
States should rapidly identify unaccompanied migrant children without access
to adequate housing and provide them with accommodation suitable to their needs
and circumstances. States should also appoint guardians in order to prevent the social
exclusion of these children and ensure that they have adequate access to basic services.
