A/HRC/35/10 65. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offers an opportunity to address existing gaps through the implementation of, inter alia, its goals directed towards the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment, peaceful and inclusive societies and reducing inequality. To deliver on the promise of the 2030 Agenda to leave no-one behind, the High Commissioner recommends that: (a) National legal frameworks expressly and consistently prohibit intersecting forms of discrimination against women and girls, and protect the rights of women and girls affected by them; (b) All laws, policies and practices that legalize and facilitate direct and indirect discrimination and violence against women and girls based on multiple grounds, including race, ethnicity, gender or religion, be abolished, and that nondiscriminatory implementation of laws, including those on nationality and citizenship, be ensured; (c) Women and girls affected by intersecting forms of discrimination and violence be afforded equal access to justice and effective means of redress, and gender-sensitive, intercultural and quality education and health services, including sexual and reproductive health services and information; (d) Intersectional analysis be applied in the planning and allocation of public resources, as well as in the design, implementation and review of legislation, policies and programmes, in such areas as migration, development, employment, social protection, poverty reduction, health, education, gender equality, violence against women, racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia, to expose, prevent and respond effectively to the intersecting forms of discrimination and violence faced by women and girls; (e) The participation of women and girls affected by intersecting forms of discrimination and violence be encouraged in public life, collective bargaining and at all levels of policymaking and decision-making processes, including political and institutional, through positive legal measures, affirmative action policies and access to information about rights and entitlements; (f) Systematic and continuous efforts be made to sensitize and build the capacity of professional categories, including the judiciary, the police, border guards, health and education personnel, the public administration, employers and others, to address discriminatory attitudes and stereotypes, to develop an understanding of the intersecting forms of discrimination and violence affecting women and girls, and to apply rights-based and gender and culturally sensitive methods; (g) Legislation, policies and targeted measures be adopted to economically empower women and girls affected by intersecting forms of discrimination and violence by providing employment opportunities, ensuring labour rights, education, training and skills development, access to land, water and financial resources, and gender-sensitive social protection and care services; (h) Monitoring, reporting and protection mechanisms, as well as services, such as emergency helplines, shelters, health and legal services, psychosocial support and trauma counselling, be put in place to assist and safeguard women and girls at risk; (i) National laws, capacities and procedures be strengthened for interpreting grounds of persecution and granting asylum, thereby facilitating international protection for women and girls facing persecution based on a combination of factors, including gender and race, which are often rendered invisible; 16
