Independent Opinion of CEDAW rights of migrant domestic workers to take leave and maternity leave and at the same time maintain the quality of care.
Recommendation 15 (1) The government should take a serious look at the problem of unreported cases of gender-based violence against migrant domestic workers and raise the awareness of labor officials handling such cases. (2) The government should establish a cross-agency horizontal liaison mechanism to compare data related to sexual assault and harassment of migrant workers–from complaints, processing, reporting, to referral–in order to follow up with the handling and results of such cases.
Recommendation 16 The government should compile cross-agency statistical data to improve basic statistics and assessment reports on the situation of women from disadvantaged groups, so as to reflect their relatively vulnerable situation in terms of rights protection.
Recommendation 17 The government should conduct an in-depth study on the causes of high maternal mortality in rural areas and formulate strategies to solve the problem accordingly. It is also important to address the inequality in OB-GYN medical resources, evaluate the effectiveness of various programs that subsidize or support OB-GYN services in rural areas, and underline the importance of the guidance and support provided by midwifery personnel for women in rural areas.
