Recommendations concerning monitoring and reporting
28. States parties should include in their reports information about the legal
framework, policies and programmes they have implemented to protect the rights of
women migrant workers, taking into consideration the sex- and gender-based human
rights concerns listed in paragraphs 10 to 22 and guided by the recommendations
given in paragraphs 23 to 27 of this general recommendation. Adequate data should
be collected on the enforcement and effectiveness of laws, policies and programmes
and the de facto situation of women migrant workers, so that the information in the
reports is meaningful. This information should be provided under the most
appropriate articles of the Convention, guided by the suggestions given against all
the recommendations.
Ratification or accession to relevant human rights treaties
29. States parties are encouraged to ratify all international instruments relevant to
the protection of the human rights of migrant women workers, in particular, the
International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and
Members of Their Families.
