Concrete steps aimed at guaranteeing the rights of minority
women
11.
Under this agenda item, discussion will focus on improving the draft
recommendations that participants have before them. The objective will be to formulate
practical policies, actions or programmes that would ensure the full enjoyment of the rights
of minority women and generate a greater degree of participation in private and public life
at the national, regional and local levels. One first step could be to collect and disseminate
data disaggregated by ethnicity and sex, particularly on access of minority women to
education, political participation, economic opportunities, social security, health care and
access to legal remedies.
