Thank you, Mr. President, I am Vicenta Camusso of Uruguay and I represent the Network of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women's organizations present in 24 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. We are part of the more than 240 million African descent people in Latin America and the Caribbean. In our countries, women represent more than 50% but we are considered minorities. In accordance with the Plan of the Third World Conference against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance, we recall that there is still a lack of information on the Afro-descendant population in Latin America and the Caribbean. It has been made invisible in terms of information, quantitative and qualitative data, only 18 countries of the region have incorporated the ethnic racial variable in the censuses and population surveys. Chile, Mexico and the Dominican Republic have not incorporated it. Peru will include the variable in the next National Population and Housing Census of 2017, so we request special attention to the census process as well to make efforts for the implementation of the NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR AFROPERUAN POPULATION. Structural racism is present throughout the region, racial violence affects the vast majority of the Afro-descendant population and, especially in women and girls throughout life, is manifested in forced displacement, the criminalization of young people, genocide towards Girls, trafficking and trafficking of young women, denial of the right to registration and legal identity We request the extensions of section 25, section G of the draft declaration of this forum, so as to include, in addition to the indigenous people and AfroPay special attention to the Dominican population of Haitian descent, not registered in the Dominican civil registry, and who are in a stateless situation in the Dominican Republic, this being contrary to international standards. We recognize the effort made by the Dominican government, however, the same has not been enough to eliminate the remnants caused by sentence 168-13, which left in the stateless and at risk of statelessness more than 200, thousand people, which Directly influences the lack of access to education, work, health, and in women leaves the way open to violence against them. We urge the Council to take note of the fact that the Dominican State is to initiate a dialogue with affected parties, civil society organizations and legal representatives, in order to seek a definitive solution. That, in the framework of the Decade of the Afrodescendent, the States guarantee positive measures in order to prevent, combat and punish situations of racism and ethnic racial discrimination, as well as to design, approve and implement national legislation that penalizes racism and discrimination in countries that do not have it. Adolescent girls and Afro-descendant women face multiple discrimination of gender, race, class and sexual choice. We would like to place the need of paying special attention to the LGTBI population. We urge the Human Rights Council within the framework of this Forum to ensure the inclusion of racial, gender and sexual diversity in the draft recommendations and national statistics, Census and continuous household surveys, in countries that have not yet Have been incorporated. We urge the Council to carry out communication campaigns in the region directed to civil society organizations, the general population, especially regarding the submission of complaints procedures and early warning measures and emergency procedures. Promote or promote a United Nations Voluntary Fund for Afrodescendants of Latin America and the Caribbean to
