A/HRC/42/47/Add.2 workplaces do not have policies that are inclusive of diversity. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur is concerned about the sexual harassment and violence that transgender persons face in educational institutions. Several transgender persons recalled their experiences of being teased by boys in the toilets during their school years. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government monitor how gender inequalities in access to toilets, including among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and gender non-conforming persons, manifest in extra-household settings (A/HRC/33/49, para. 72). IV. Human rights to water and sanitation in policies 59. The Special Rapporteur stresses that a human rights-based approach provides a framework to identify the highest priorities in national water and sanitation policies and that such a framework would take into account key issues related to people in vulnerable situations, including questions surrounding equality, non-discrimination, participation and access to information. In this regard, he provides an analysis of the elements that the Government could improve in its policy considerations, aiming at accelerating the progressive realization of the human rights to water and sanitation. A. Monitoring 60. Apart from the largest groups of Bumiputera, Chinese and Indians, Malaysia is home to a number of minorities and indigenous peoples, including the Negrito, the Senoi and the Proto-Malay in Peninsular Malaysia, the Kadazan Dusun, the Bajau and the Murut mainly in Sabah, and the Iban, the Bidayuh, the Melanau and the Orang Ulu predominantly in Sarawak. During his two-week visit, the Special Rapporteur had the pleasure of interacting with people from different ethnicities and indigenous peoples. 61. During the meetings with government representatives, many said that there were no data available to answer several of the questions related to the disparities in access to adequate services by specific groups. It is essential that the Government take urgent action to collect adequate data that would allow disaggregation of data on access to water and sanitation services by relevant groups, particularly based on race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, wealth or other status. The Special Rapporteur wishes to emphasize that States are under an immediate obligation to implement a national plan of action to realize the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation in full, utilizing indicators and benchmarks to monitor and report on their progress. Collection of sufficient and reliable data on children, disaggregated to enable identification of discrimination and/or disparities in the realization of rights, is an essential part of implementation.7 The policy should provide for mechanisms that collect relevant sex-disaggregated data, enable effective monitoring, facilitate continuing evaluation and allow for the revision or supplementation of existing measures and the identification of any new measures that may be appropriate.8 62. There is also a lack of information or data collected by the Government regarding the enjoyment of the human rights to water and sanitation by asylum seekers and refugees. Those groups have generally been excluded from the development agenda of Malaysia, including from discussions on the development of the country’s road map on the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the resulting targets and policies. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to start a baseline survey in order to improve the availability of data on those affected by statelessness in East Malaysia, including the Bajau Laut and various minority indigenous peoples. 7 8 14 Committee on the Rights of the Child, general comment No. 5 (2003) on general measures of implementation of the Convention, para. 48.
