A/HRC/44/8 105. Targeted steps towards the adoption of anti-torture legislation had been taken. The Cabinet had approved the drafting of a policy on torture, which would lead to the drafting of a consolidated and comprehensive law in line with the obligations of Lesotho to prevent and punish torture and to provide redress to its victims. As regards its reporting obligations under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, Lesotho had drafted an initial report. Lesotho had requested to report through the simplified reporting procedure. 106. The Access and Receipt of Information Bill had been drafted to ensure that citizens had access to information but it had still not been tabled before Parliament. Aware of food deficit in Lesotho, the Government subsidized farmers with seeds, fertilizers and tractors. At the community level, heads of households, including women, were trained in keyhole vegetable gardening for subsistence and commercial purposes. In order to ensure that hunger did not contribute to school dropout rates, there was a school feeding programme, which ensured the provision of food to all children in public schools. 107. In an effort to address and eliminate cases of child, early and forced marriages, in cases in which they were reported, children were rescued. The Government also worked with NGOs, such as the Beautiful Dream Society, to rehabilitate and provide shelter and schooling for such children. 108. In order to improve rural women’s access to sexual and reproductive health rights, the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with NGOs and civil society organizations, had taken the following measures: recruitment of village health workers whose mandate included the distribution of family planning commodities, and the establishment of mobile clinics to provide health services, including family planning services, in villages. 109. The head of the delegation appreciated the opportunity provided by the universal periodic review mechanism for Lesotho to reflect and assess, in a self-critical manner, its achievements and to identify existing gaps and challenges in the promotion and protection of human rights. He thanked all those who had made the process a success. II. Conclusions and/or recommendations 110.
