A/HRC/4/104 page 16 38. The Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, in his report to the sixty-second session of the Commission (E/CN.4/2006/73), raised concerns about domestic migrant workers, who are mostly women, and highlighted particular human rights abuses suffered by women in the context of migration. The Special Rapporteur attended a seminar on strengthening synergies amongst stakeholders in the protection and promotion of the rights of Indonesian women migrant workers in July 2006 in Jakarta. 39. The Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the situation of human rights defenders has reiterated that women defenders are more at risk of certain forms of violence and restrictions and become vulnerable to prejudice, exclusion and public repudiation by State forces and social actors, especially when engaged in the defence of women’s rights. In her report to the sixty-first session of the Commission (E/CN.4/2005/101), she noted that defenders working on women’s rights and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues continue to face human rights violations. In her report to the sixty-second session of the Commission (E/CN.4/2006/95), the Special Representative emphasized that there is no better protection for women human rights defenders than the strength and support of their own movements. Additional protection measures are therefore needed by States and the human rights community at large to provide women’s rights defenders with a secure environment for their work. In her report to the sixty-first session of the General Assembly (see A/61/312), which focused on the right to freedom of assembly in relation to the activities of human rights defenders, she reiterated that those defending LGBT rights and women defenders face particular challenges. In 2005, the Special Representative attended the World Conference on Women Human Rights Defenders held in Sri Lanka, which brought together leading gender experts and women human rights defenders from over 70 countries. This conference was the culmination of a three-year international Internet campaign that had been spearheaded by the Special Representative.40 It focused on identifying and developing new strategies for protecting women defenders against a range of sources and types of abuse by States, non-State actors, families and communities, and sexual and sexuality-based attacks. The website www.defendingwomen-defendingrights.org continues to be a resource tool for women’s rights defenders. Following the conference, 29 November was designated as International Women Human Rights Defenders Day. On 29 November 2006, the Special Representative commemorated the Day in Bangkok in solidarity with a gathering of women human rights defenders from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. The Special Representative delivered a keynote address at the first International Conference on LGBT Human Rights, held in Canada from 26 to 29 July 2006. In her keynote address to the Council of Europe to discuss the establishment of a regional European mechanism to protect human rights defenders, she highlighted the challenges for women human rights defenders and defenders of LGBT rights (Strasbourg, 13-14 November 2006). The Special Representative co-signed a joint letter on 10 December 2006 to coincide with the Global Day for Darfur calling on the international community to deploy a robust peacekeeping force to protect women in Darfur from rape and sexual violence. 40 The Special Representative of the Secretary-General called for an international campaign following her 2002 report to the Commission on Human Rights which focused on women human rights defenders and the specific violations they face in the course of their work because of their sex and gender (see E/CN.4/2002/106, paras. 80-94).
