treatment towards migrant workers. Particularly vulnerable and verge of risk are women, domestic and undocumented workers, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, those who have been fired from employment, those infected with COVID-19 and those with chronic diseases and health problems. 2.2.7. Caste based Discrimination The Constitution and the law have made acts against caste-based discrimination and untouchability a serious criminal offense and provision for compensation has also been mentioned. However, due to poverty, illiteracy, lack of consciousness, social discrimination, etc., the economic, social and educational condition of the Dalit community has not improved. Problems such as non-disclosure of some cases of caste-based discrimination, non-registration of FIR complaints, conciliation etc. are still existing. 2.2.8. Rights of Indigenous People The Commission has been working on the rights of the indigenous people since its inception. The Commission has made recommendations to the Government of Nepal to ensure active and independent participation of their representatives in the formulation of policy and legislation relating to indigenous people, make necessary laws and to amend and modify the adverse provisions seen in the Nepalese law and implement them equally at all the three levels of the state regarding indigenous people. Provision of reservation in employment and education to the indigenous people, formation of National Language Commission, formation of Indigenous Nationalities Commission as Constitutional Commission, and the Government of Nepal continuously submitting periodic reports to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination on the progress made in the field of indigenous nationalities and also to the Universal Periodic Review are some of the actions. Despite these actions formulation of the necessary policies and laws to ensure their rights, and the functioning of the Constitutional Commission, including the protection and promotion by the language commission have not been effective. 2.2.9. Rights of Madhesi, Tharu, Muslims The Commission has also initiated collaboration with various Commissions constituted in accordance with the Constitution to protect and promote the rights of Madhesi, Tharu, Muslim and other communities. The Commission has drawn its attention to the incidents of social, religious and administrative discrimination against these communities. The Commission has been active in maintaining tolerance and brotherhood in the society by discussing with all stakeholders on issues related to equality and dignity of these communities and enhancing their self-respect.
