A/HRC/25/57 (b) Multisectoral and inclusive, ensuring the coordination amongst Government ministries and institutions and allowing for meaningful participation of civil society in their formulation and monitoring; (c) Adequately funded. (d) Monitored also by national courts and national human rights institutions as well as through social audits and community-based monitoring at the local level. 2. Human Rights Impact Assessments To ensure consistency between domestic policies aimed at the full realization of the right to food and external policies in the areas of trade, investment, development and humanitarian aid, States should establish mechanisms that ensure that the right to food is fully taken into account in those policies. The Special Rapporteur has presented Guiding Principles on Human Rights Impact Assessments, based on a range of consultations with governmental and non-governmental actors, which provide guidance as to how to conduct such assessments, both ex-ante and ex-post (A/HRC/19/59/Add.5). 3. Women’s rights In order to strengthen the protection of the right to food of women (A/HRC/22/50), States should: (a) Remove all discriminatory provisions in the law, combat discrimination that has its source in social and cultural norms, and use temporary special measures to accelerate the achievement of gender equality; (b) Recognize the need to accommodate the specific time and mobility constraints on women as a result of the existing gender roles, while at the same time redistributing the gender roles by a transformative approach to employment and social protection; (c) Mainstream a concern for gender in all laws, policies and programs, where appropriate, by developing incentives that reward public administrations which make progress in setting and reaching targets in this regard; (d) Adopt multisector and multi-year strategies that move towards full equality for women, under the supervision of an independent body to monitor progress, relying on gender-disaggregated data in all areas relating to the achievement of food security. 4. Social protection The provision of social protection can substantially contribute to the realization of the right to food (A/68/268, A/HRC/12/31). States should: (a) Guarantee the right to social security to all, without discrimination, through the establishment of standing social protection schemes; (b) Ensure that, when targeted schemes are adopted, they are based on criteria that are fair, effective and transparent; (c) Define benefits under national social protection systems as legal entitlements, so that individual beneficiaries are informed about their rights under social programs and have access to effective and independent grievance redressal mechanisms; (d) Ensure that the design of social protection schemes is effectively transformative of existing gender roles (A/HRC/22/50); and 25
