Part of our Everyday Work NHRI Guidelines for Mainstreaming SOGISC Work The CRC delivered strong recommendations that the NHRI, CSOs and health professionals are using as the basis for their joint ongoing discussions with Government to address these human rights violations. The Provedor for Human Rights and Justice Timor-Leste has created a Memorandum of Understanding with National NGO (CODIVA) to implement Human Rights Training to Police and community leaders, that includes a focus on SOGIE. After a consultation workshop with over 80 LGBTI participants in 2010, the National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia trained 71 police officers on SOGI issues, collected data on human rights violations against LGBT people, created website resources, produced a brochure on making complaints to the Commission, and used public service announcements on television to call for implementation of UN recommendations concerning sexual minorities. Together with the LGBT Centre, the Commission included LGBT people in a human rights survey and tabled a report in Parliament with a chapter focused on SOGI human rights issues. The Parliament Standing Committee on Legal Affairs passed a Resolution calling on the government to implement the UPR and Committee Against Torture recommendations relating to LGBT people. The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka has formed a LGBTIQ sub-committee where NGOs and individuals can raise difficulties they face and potential solutions. These issues can then be raised with the sectoral subcommittees (for example on health or education) that involve representatives from relevant government ministries. The Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines, as part of its Business and Human Rights work, co organised private sector dialogues with UNDP’s Being LGBTI in Asia Program on promoting and protecting diversity in the workplace.
