We also urge, in relation to the recommendation no. 39, that the Government of India and
development agencies 1.e UN agencies should work with Muslim women human rights
defenders and organizations to highlight and mainstream the issues of religion-based
discrimination Into problem analysis, policy design and monitoring of development
programmes in the area of education of Muslim girls. The available data must be collected
and interpreted along with voices and experiences of Muslim women, girls and community
and these focused studies must be used to influence all policy strategy.
We therefore urge the Forum to adopt Draft Recommendation no. 17 and 39 with
these additions on Recommendations for Minority women and Girls' Right to
Education section.
We would like to thank you again for giving us this opportunity to share our
views. Thank Youl!
