E/C.12/DJI/CO/1-2 accordance with international standards. The Committee recommends that the State party hold regular meetings of the National Asylum Eligibility Commission in order to clear the backlog of applications. 13. The Committee notes with concern that provisions that discriminate against women have been retained in the Family Code of 2002. The Committee notes with concern that provisions aimed at promoting gender equality, such as those prohibiting female genital mutilation and the Labour Code provisions on protection against sexual harassment, are not effectively enforced (art. 3). The Committee encourages the State party to: (a) Repeal, as a matter of priority, any provisions in the Family Code that discriminate against women, as part of its efforts to bring national legislation into line with the conventions and treaties that the State party has ratified; (b) Support that work with a campaign to raise public awareness of the equal entitlement of men and women to the enjoyment of their rights and of the legal remedies available in cases of gender-based discrimination; (c) Strengthen the capacity of traditional and religious leaders to speak out against all forms of gender-based discrimination, including forms of violence against women such as female genital mutilation; and (d) Assess the impact of initiatives aimed at changing behaviour, in particular by establishing and monitoring gender equality indicators. 14. The Committee regrets that the quotas for proportional representation of either sex, of 10 per cent and 20 per cent, respectively, in elected office and in the public service, falls short of establishing the equal participation of men and women. The Committee is also concerned that women are disproportionately affected by unemployment (art. 3). The Committee recommends that the State party take steps to ensure that the implementation of the National Gender Policy 2011–2021: (a) Includes the adoption and application of more ambitious quotas for the equal participation of men and women in political life and in the public service; (b) Removes the obstacles to the equal participation of women in the formal labour market, including by ensuring that legislation prohibiting sexual harassment is enforced; (c) Helps mothers, in particular by ensuring compliance with maternity leave regulations, introducing flexible working hours and opening day-care centres; and (d) Includes the organization of adult literacy campaigns for women along with the promotion of income-generating activities. The Committee draws the State party’s attention to its general comment No. 16 (2005) on the equal right of men and women to the enjoyment of all economic, social and cultural rights. 15. The Committee is concerned by the scale of unemployment in the State party, particularly among young persons, women, persons with disabilities and older adults (art. 6). The Committee urges the State party to develop and implement a comprehensive national employment policy based on the right to work and on the inclusion, in particular, of underprivileged and marginalized groups, and long-term measures to promote employment in all the priority sectors identified in its development plans. 4 GE.13-49993
