A/HRC/44/51/Add.1 B. Recommendations 88. In the spirit of cooperation, the Working Group has formulated the following recommendations for Greece, with a view to strengthening measures designed to guarantee gender equality, the empowerment of women and the promotion and protection of women’s human rights. 89. In the area of institutional frameworks, the Working Group recommends that the Government: (a) Increase investment in existing institutions, including the General Secretariat for Gender Equality, to ensure that they have adequate and sustainable human, financial and technical resources in order to be able to effectively fulfil their mandates and outreach activities; (b) Establish institutional frameworks, or mandates for existing ones, with a special focus on the monitoring and evaluation of the impact of laws and programmes on women’s equality and freedom from gender-based violence, and ensure that such data feed into a decision-making process to improve laws and programmes. 90. With regard to the participation of women in economic and social life, the Working Group recommends that the Government: (a) Remove barriers to the full and equal participation of women in the labour force by adopting specific policy measures to address discrimination in the workplace and the fact that the responsibility for unpaid care work disproportionately falls on women; (b) Implement measures to close the gender pay gap, including through research on the most significant factors contributing to the gender pay gap; (c) Increase the participation of women in entrepreneurship and economic decision-making by establishing quotas for boards of directors in large companies and regularly report and monitor progress in that regard; (d) Require the regular collection and reporting of sex-disaggregated data and statistics on all aspects of employment, in the public and private sectors, including recruitment, promotion, training and ancillary benefits, such as bonuses, travel expenses and pensions; (e) Administer a national survey to measure the prevalence of sexual harassment and discrimination related to pregnancy and return to work from parental leave; (f) Establish a mechanism for capturing robust data on the prevalence of sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination in the workplace, to inform prevention and response efforts; (g) Adopt specific measures to encourage more fathers to make use of parental leave entitlements; (h) Conduct research into the nature and dynamics of the deep-rooted negative gender stereotypes having an impact on girls’ education, empower girls and young women to engage in a broad range of fields of study and facilitate that engagement; (i) Collect data, disaggregated by sex, geographical location and minority group status, on the situation of women and men in the area of employment in order to monitor and improve working conditions among women; (j) Ensure that the education system plays its essential role in combating the persistence of patriarchal attitudes and deep-rooted stereotypes regarding the role and responsibilities of women and men in the family and society and in eliminating gender-based violence, including domestic violence; (k) Review and reform school textbooks and curricula in all schools, public and private, to eliminate gender stereotypes and ensure that non-discrimination and gender equality are an integral part of the values underpinning the core curriculum; 19
