SUMMARY:Good Practices and Challenges in the 2030 Agenda - Showcasing ongoing inclusive strategies of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent
DESCRIPTION:For registration : https://theinclusivityproject-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0tdO-srzIsEtUCr_6DcIxAGIm2Tj2kCt3J \nThe Permanent Mission of Nepal to the UN in New York together with the Permanent\nMission of North Macedonia\, Permanent Mission of Canada (TBC) and the\nPermanent Missions of Austria\, Brazil\, Sri Lanka\, Ivory Coast\, Gambia (TBC) and UN\nWomen (Racial Justice) are delighted to co-organize a HLPF 2024 side event alongside the\nGlobal Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (GFoD) and The\nInclusivity Project uniting organizations working for recognition and rights of Communities\nDiscriminated on Work and Descent including the African Network on Discrimination based\non Work and Descent and Contemporary Forms of Slavery (ANDS)\, The Africa GFoD\, The\nAsia Dalit Rights Forum (ADRF)\, the European Roma Grassroots Organisations Network\n(ERGO Network) and the National Coordination of Rural Black Quilombola Communities\n(CONAQ – Coordenação Nacional de Articulação das Comunidades Negras Rurais\nQuilombolas) \nThe session will highlight the importance of addressing discrimination based on work and\ndescent as a critical step towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.\nThrough an exchange of ideas on inclusive and equitable approaches\, strengthening\npartnerships and collaborative practice\, the side event is an opportunity for all stakeholders to\nrenew their commitment to the principle of ‘Leaving no one behind’ and reinforce the 2030\nAgenda for 270 million people across the world who are discriminated on work and\ndescent.         \nContext: Growing recognition and acceptance has resulted in the recognition of the Stakeholder Group of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (SG-CDWD) anchored in GA\nresolution 67/290 as part of Major Groups and Other Stakeholders in 2020. Since then\, the\nSG-CDWD has ensured the representation and participation of voices of some of the most\nsidelined communities in the national and regional SDG implementation strategies.\nMember States and UN Agencies have been receptive to responding to the demands and\ninitiating systematic documentation efforts and recognition and inclusion efforts into the\nsystematic design of policies to mechanisms for the marginalized.\nDespite significant progress\, discrimination remains a major barrier to achieving the\nSustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\nemphasizes the importance of leaving no one behind and recognizes the need for inclusive\ndevelopment. Marginalized groups—such as women\, minorities\, persons with disabilities\,\nand Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD). These intersecting  discriminations perpetuate cycles of exclusion and hinder their full participation in economic\,\nsocial\, and political life. \nWho are Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD? \nCommunities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD) are known by many\nnames depending on where they live and the languages they speak. Together they\nrepresent 270 million individuals\, which would constitute the 6th largest country on earth.\nDalits and Burakumin in Asia\, the “slave caste” in The Gambia and Mauritania called\njongoo/komo and Haratin\, the Quilombola in Brazil and Roma in Europe and beyond are just\nsome examples of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD). These\ncommunities share the common experience of living in socially segregated societies that\ndiscriminate against them based on the perceived low social status often tied to labels such as\n“unclean” or “polluted” often tied to traditional professions. \nIn 2024 many Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) offer a unique opportunity to showcase\nachievements in countries with significant CDWD populations. However\, work and\ncollaboration with CDWD is an ongoing process and need not be reduced to the VNR process\nthis event also wishes to showcase. Some examples of recent successes paired with ambitions and new policy initiatives this side event will highlight include: \n1. The Inclusion in the Census in several countries and overcoming the invisibility of\ncounting everyone in government censuses\, states have taken a critical step toward\nrecognizing the existence and needs of all communities\, including marginalized and\ndescent-based groups. This inclusion ensures policy-making and resource allocation\nwith CDWD in mind. \n2. Budgets and Allocation of Quotas notable advancements in budget allocations and the\nimplementation of quotas to support CDWD and other groups in areas such as\neducation\, political representation\, healthcare\, and housing. \n3. Recognition and Regional Human Rights Mechanisms has also been bolstered by the\nefforts of regional human rights mechanisms and civil society organizations\,\nparticularly in Africa. Organizations like the African Commission on Human and\nPeoples’ Rights and civil society movements across regions have united to form\ncoalitions that push for greater recognition and protection of these groups rights. \n4. The Platform Provided by the SDGs emphasize inclusivity and aim to leave\nno one behind\, giving descent-based communities a critical opportunity to be seen and\nheard on the global stage despite not being acknowledged specifically and the lack of\ntargets the Agenda 2030 has allowed for wide civil society participation and\ncontributed to the successes of the CDWD movement. \nBuilding on the growing recognition and systematic creation of efforts to include the\nmost marginalized this side event wishes to build on and highlight some\nachievements and best practices states and UN agencies have championed. Member\nstates and renowned leaders of the CDWD will address this side event. \nIt is hybrid event\, taking place on zoom and UN\, Conference Room F\, New York \n(Indicated time is the NY time EDT)
