She drew attention to the phenomena of ageing, and the need to devise strategies to protect older persons from poverty. Her report to the General Assembly addressed the contribution of social protection to the attainment of the MDGs, and indicated the key features of a gender-sensitive approach to social protection.

In 2010, the Expert conducted a mission to Zambia, and a joint mission with the Independent Expert on water and sanitation to Bangladesh. 57. The Special Rapporteur on the right to education devoted his annual report to the fourteenth session of the Human Rights Council to the question of the right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers. The report aimed to inform and assist Governments and interested parties in their efforts to address these matters and develop best practices so as to ensure the enjoyment of the currently unfulfilled right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers. In his report to the General Assembly, the Special Rapporteur addressed the issue of sexual education, including the interdependence of sexuality, health and education and the relationship of this right to other rights from a gender and diversity perspective.
