A/HRC/4/18 page 7 corresponding right and second, a number of processes could contribute to the attainment of a single outcome. In such a case, it becomes useful to make a distinction between process and outcome indicators. An example of an outcome indicator would be “proportion of households with legally enforceable, contractual, statutory or other protection providing security of tenure”. 13. The suggested framework has emerged from the ongoing work on developing indicators for States parties’ compliance with international human rights instruments. The configuration of the structural, process and outcome indicators should be seen as a framework to systematically cover all aspects of the realization of a right - from the perspective of duty holders and their obligations, as well as of the right holder and his/her rights. Working with such an approach simplifies the selection of indicators and encourages the use of contextually relevant information. Though it addresses a range of issues in building an adequate approach to human rights assessment, a few areas still require further work. One such area relates to the need for specific indicators to monitor the process of implementing a given human right for its adherence to human rights principles. It is important, for such a monitoring process, to identify the vulnerable groups in a country, the information provider and information user, and those individuals and communities whose human rights are at stake. 14. Further work is also required in building capacity for collecting and using disaggregated data. There is also scope to devise additional gender-sensitive indicators (see annex II) on some of the attributes identified in the proposed framework. Moreover, there is a need for detailed meta-sheets on each indicator, elaborating, for instance, information on definition of the indicators, rationale for selection of the indicator, possible disaggregation and contextual formulation, and availability and periodicity of data. Thus, for example, to disaggregate the outcome indicator of “proportion of homeless population using shelters” one could include indicators that ask for specific information, such as “number of shelters per thousand homeless women”. Finally, the suggested indicators need to be validated through piloting at the country level before they can provide the basis for a standardized approach to monitor the right to adequate housing at the international and national levels. 15. The Special Rapporteur will continue to work on the development of such indicators. The next step will consist of refining the indicators, in consultation with OHCHR and UN-HABITAT. The Special Rapporteur will make further use of the indicators in his work, including during country missions. He will also encourage States and civil society to use the data generated by these indicators to monitor the implementation of the right to adequate housing. B. Monitoring women’s rights to adequate housing and land 16. In its resolution 2002/49 entitled “Women’s equal ownership of access to and control over land and the equal rights to own property and to adequate housing”, the Commission on Human Rights entrusted the Special Rapporteur with the additional task of conducting a global study on women and adequate housing.
