A/HRC/53/26 (f) Replace forms of tolerated status with a national protection status, which would allow individuals to exercise their rights and be ensured the same treatment as other migrants. States should ensure that those with tolerated status are able to access a pathway out of that status through a regularization mechanism and that interim measures are taken to protect their fundamental rights; (g) Implement integration policies and programmes that promote and support the inclusion of migrants, including undocumented ones, and provide resources for the integration and access to rights of those whose status has been regularized; (h) Facilitate access to migratory regularization for migrant workers by removing obstacles and contributing to the exercise of their labour rights, including access to justice in the face of abuses by their employers; (i) Provide more flexibility to ensure that the rights and residence status of migrants are not tied to one employer or one sector by taking into account the reality of the labour market when renewing residence status, allowing bridges between different types of work and work permit statuses (e.g. employed, self-employed, entrepreneur) to prevent migrant workers from falling into irregularity when a job situation changes or in cases of exploitation;55 (j) Adopt measures to guarantee the rights of migrant women, including domestic workers, through migration regularization that is not dependent upon a specific employer, spouse or other family member and is accessible at reasonable rates; (k) In the context of mixed movements, give migrants and asylum-seekers, including potential victims of trafficking, an adequate “interim” status, including the right to work, pending the outcome of the relevant procedures, such as regularization, asylum and the official determination of a person as a victim of trafficking; (l) Put an end to the criminalization of irregular migrants and promote solidarity towards migrants to change the narrative on migration and combat xenophobia, racism and discrimination. 55 18 Caritas Europa, “Demystifying the regularisation of undocumented migrants”.
