A/HRC/35/10 60. Some civil society organizations also reported on efforts being made to build the capacity of professionals to address the issue of intersectional discrimination and violence against women and girls. In Slovenia, Slovene Philanthropy, an association for the promotion of voluntary work, trained policymakers and professionals working with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers on the specific needs of women and girls at risk and affected by multiple forms of discrimination and violence. The Peace Institute provided intercultural training to professionals who assist women and children survivors of violence and abuse. E. Participation and awareness-raising 61. The Durban Programme of Action sets the tone for the full and effective participation of women and girls affected by racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerances by, inter alia, calling upon States to involve affected women at all levels of decision-making related to the eradication of such discrimination and in the design, implementation and evaluation of policies and measures that affect their lives; to empower affected women and girls to fully exercise their rights in all spheres of public and private life; and to strengthen and support relevant actors of civil society working to promote gender equality and the advancement of women subject to multiple discrimination. 62. Mexico, Serbia and Spain described efforts that aim at increasing the participation and representation of affected women and girls. The Constitution of Mexico provides for the political participation of indigenous women and their access to decision-making. The political and public participation and leadership of indigenous women and girls is also promoted through a comprehensive package that consists of legislation, programmes and targeted funding to civil society projects. In Serbia, the national strategy for gender equality includes provisions to promote the exercise of active and passive voting rights by Roma women. Spain has promoted the representation of Roma women`s organizations in the State Council of the Roma people through affirmative action. As part of its national strategy for the social inclusion of the Roma population, Spain also provided funding to a women’s organization working on issues related to violence against women in the Roma community. 63. The Durban Programme of Action urges States to mainstream a gender perspective in the design and development of measures of prevention, education and protection aimed at the eradication of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance at all levels, to ensure that they effectively target the distinct situations of women and men. Comprehensive information, communication and education that address harmful stereotypes and attitudes are crucial to the prevention of intersectional discrimination and violence against women and girls. In this context, OHCHR produced the documentary film “I am not here”, which reveals the harsh reality of living as undocumented migrant domestic workers through the true stories of three women. Oxfam has launched a campaign to eradicate discrimination, stereotypes and violence against indigenous women in Guatemala. V. Conclusions and recommendations 64. States have an obligation to protect all women and girls from intersecting forms of discrimination and violence. The examples compiled in the present report confirm that key gaps persist in a number of areas, including with regard to economic exclusion and poverty, education, health, violence, participation, equality before the law and access to justice. 15
