A/74/191 agencies and institutions to examine current legislation expressly through a gender lens, as well as to pay attention to the needs of migrant women and girls. 107. In terms of gender-responsive migration policies, the picture is more mixed. Based on the information received, great strides have been made in trying to understand the specific needs, challenges, views and realities pertaining to migrant women and girls in different countries and to incorporate those genderspecific needs into the different integration policies, making the prospects for the integration of migrant women and girls more effective. For example, when offering migrant women and girls the opportunity to take language classes, the courses were structured in such a way that women could attend with their children. Some language courses were adjusted for women with lower literacy levels. A number of countries have also offered training programmes in specific skills and have provided support to migrant women so that they can participate in the labour market. However, it is noted that migration policies in many countries appear to be gender neutral, with particularly negative consequences for the rights and well-being of migrant women and girls. Furthermore, this often falls short of recognizing that truly gender-responsive migration laws, policies and practices should take equally into account the specific situations and challenges of migrants of all genders. 108. A number of States have also made significant efforts to ensure the provision of information to migrant women and girls on a range of issues, most notably on the risk of falling victims of trafficking and where to find additional help. Such efforts have been taken in recognition of the fact that migrant women and girls are in situations of serious vulnerability when they do not have sufficient information about their rights, the means to claim them and the support available to them. 109. In addition, some States have indicated that they adhere to a genderresponsive way of budgeting, and some are also committed to promoting gender responsiveness in their foreign policy and their engagement with other States. 110. While the present report is focused primarily on good practices, it is evident that the continued strengthening of gender-responsive migration legislation and policies is indispensable for the protection of the human rights of migrant women and girls. For example, the needs of migrant women and girls who return to their countries of origin are insufficiently reflected in reintegration policies. There is also a lack of gender-responsive care and specific procedures to meet the needs of migrant women, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and genderdiverse persons, particularly in detention. Moreover, boys and girls are still being detained for immigration-related purposes, in clear violation of relevant international human rights standards. 111. States have made limited advances in collecting gender and age disaggregated data in the context of international migration, in particular data on the migrant population in detention. The current knowledge of international migration is still limited by data gaps, lack of reliability and the irregularity of data collection. These are all obstacles to the establishment of strong monitoring systems. Recommendations 112. A strong national human rights framework that guarantees gender equality and non-discrimination and protects the rights of all women and girls is an important starting point for the protection and promotion of the rights of migrant women and girls.
