A/HRC/43/3/Add.1 an increase to the budget for food security (from 0.94 per cent in 2016 to 1.49 per cent in 2019)50 and the implementation, since 2017, of the school meals programme. 51 However, that programme only covers children enrolled in pre-primary and primary education, excluding those under 2 years of age, who are in the “1,000-day window” (the period between conception and 2 years old, which is crucial for preventing chronic malnutrition). 61. OHCHR documented cases of communities reporting lack of access to lands and water, which affected their right to an adequate standard of living. These cases included lack of access to water, sanitation, a healthy environment and adequate food, which were the result of the impact of at least 28 projects by extractive industries. In rural areas, only 24 per cent of communities have a water supply system complying with national minimum standards of water quality for personal use. 52 62. Since 2012, prolonged periods of drought and the effects of the El Niño phenomenon have severely affected livelihoods, particularly with regard to crops, thereby exacerbating food insecurity. 53 In 2019, drought reportedly affected 96,512 families 54 (approximately 550,000 people) in 12 departments. 63. This situation led to increasing numbers of people migrating to urban centres in Guatemala or attempting to emigrate, primarily to the United States. This case involved members of two families from Camotán, who emigrated despite having won a legal case in which the State party was ordered to take measures to address their lack of food security (case Nos. 5662-2014, 4474-2014, 3380-2014 and 277-2015). In 2019, OHCHR continued to provide technical assistance to the Office of the Ombudsperson and non-governmental organizations to support the implementation of the court decision, and issued a report on advances and remaining challenges in that regard.55 D. Labour rights 64. In 2019, the average monthly income was 2,260 Guatemala quetzales (approximately $291),56 which covered approximately 60 per cent of the basic food basket and 27 per cent of the extended basket. 57 Although women represent the majority of the population, their monthly income was on average 12 per cent lower than for men, 58 with indigenous women in rural areas earning even less or not receiving any remuneration for their work with their spouses on farms.59 65. Agriculture is considered to be one of the main economic sectors in Guatemala, contributing 13.4 per cent of the national GDP in 2019.60 In total, there are about one million day-labourers or farmhands in the country, 61 mostly indigenous, 13 per cent of whom had social security. 62 In 2019, the average monthly income of these labourers was 1,155 Guatemala quetzales (about $150), which is only 38.6 per cent of the minimum wage. 63 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 12 icefi.org/sites/default/files/desnutricion_icefi_1.pdf (in Spanish).
