CEDAW/C/SR.1406 indicators used to track implementation of the resolutions were in line with international standards. 9. Ms. Mutin (Philippines) said that women occupied many high-level positions in the peace negotiations. The rights of women in conflict-affected areas were protected under the Magna Carta of Women and, in 2010, the Philippines had become the first country in Asia to implement a national action plan on women, peace and security. Women’s organizations had been actively participating in the implementation of the Plan, particularly in marginalized areas such as the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. A women’s organization had recently conducted an impact assessment of the status of implementation of the National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security in the Autonomous Region, which had found that there had been good collaboration between the Government and local government units. Lastly, the National Steering Committee on the National Action Plan was also in the process of implementing a monitoring and evaluation programme. 10. Ms. Rebong (Philippines) added that the National Action Plan would continue to be implemented after 2016. Articles 10 to 14 11. Ms. Bailey said she was concerned that the school enrolment figures, which had led the State party to focus primarily on reducing boys’ dropout rates, masked the fact that many girls had not attended school. For example, the 2010 net enrolment ratio for girls in secondary education was just 66 per cent, which meant that 34 per cent had not been enrolled. She would be interested to know where those girls were and why they were not in school; whether there were specific obstacles preventing their attendance; and what action, including the use of temporary special measures, had been taken or was envisaged to ensure that those girls had access to education. In that connection, she wondered whether the bill on education contained measures to facilitate the integration of children with special needs into mainstream education and foster an inclusive education system with appropriately trained teachers. 12. She wished to know whether Committees on Decorum and Investigation had now been established in all schools and tertiary institutions and whether those Committees were empowered to investigate cases of sexual harassment and make recommendations to the relevant authorities for action. 13. Lastly, she asked what action had been taken or was envisaged to increase the enrolment of women and girls in science, technology, engineering, agriculture and mathematics courses and to put an end to gender segregation in fields of study, which limited women’s career prospects. 14. Mr. Bruun said that while recent achievements made in the area of employment were commendable, such as the repeal of certain discriminatory provisions in the Labour Code and the ratification of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), the Committee had serious concerns about the number of women working in the informal sector. He wished to know what measures had been taken to protect those women, in particular to provide them with basic social security and other benefits, and to promote their integration into the formal economy. Similarly, he was concerned that women migrant workers, indigenous women and women with disabilities faced considerable obstacles to entry into the labour market, and he wondered whether the application of the Domestic Workers Act was being monitored. 15. He wished to know what steps were being taken to challenge stereotypes regarding occupational gender segregation and reduce the considerable gender pay gap. In that connection, he urged the State party to review its very narrow interpretation of “work of equal value” under the national law with a view to bringing the definition of that concept GE.16-11725 3
