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)

SUMMARY:Carving out a Norm at the UN on the Rights of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent
DESCRIPTION:GFoD and partners are pleased to invite you to a roundtable discussion on the international\nmovement of communities discriminated on work and descent (CDWD). This important\nalliance of groups from Africa\, Europe\, Latin America and South Asia\, is forging new\npathways for justice at the international level to ensure the voices of CDWD are recognised\nand heard. The roundtable will give an opportunity for a ‘long view’ of social mobilisation\npertaining to work and descent-based discrimination that spans several decades of global action.\nThe roundtable will begin with a presentation by Dr Corinne Lennox\, Senior Lecturer in\nHuman Rights\, Institute of Commonwealth Studies\, School of Advanced Study\, University of\nLondon\, who will speak to the findings in her book\, Transnational Social Mobilisation and\nMinorities Rights: Identity\, Advocacy and Norms (Routledge 2020). The book uses the\nconcept of ‘norm entrepreneurship’ to comparatively examine the extraordinary efforts by \nDalits\, people of African descent\, Roma and Indigenous peoples to work across borders and\nat the international level to seek protection of their rights. The book draws from interviews \nwith leading activists\, participant observation and the author’s own previous work with\nactivists from her roles in NGOs\, to provide a detailed account of the strategies that have\nmade these groups highly successful in bringing international attention to their calls for\njustice.\nIn this lecture\, Dr Lennox will specifically trace the evolution of the global mobilisation of\nDalits and their alliances with other communities discriminated on the basis of work and\ndescent. The lecture will discuss the early days of their actions at the UN level\, the important\nimpact of the 2001 World Conference against Racism\, their effective use of framing and \npolitical opportunities\, and the construction of strong forms of international cooperation to\nsecure significant recognition at the international level.\nThis successful example of ‘norm entrepreneurship’ will be the backdrop for further\ndiscussion on the next wave of transnational social mobilisation by communities\ndiscriminated on work and descent (CDWD). Since 2019\, CDWD have forged exciting new \nalliances across communities and continents to develop new norms that can address the\nunique set of human rights violations they experience in common.\nLeading voices from the CDWD movement will share their reflections on key strategies that \nhave bolstered their mobilisation at the international level. The panel will also discuss the\nfuture aims and challenges for the CDWD movement as they seek to solidify their\nrecognition and support on the international and regional levels. \nTime: Jun 11\, 2024 12:00 PM Universal Time UTC \nZoom Link: https://theinclusivityproject-org.zoom.us/j/87172689955

SUMMARY:Webinar on VNR:Integrating the perspective of communities discriminated on work and descent in the voluntary national reviews
DESCRIPTION:For the last few years\, the Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Decent as part of the UN Major Groups and Other Stakeholders\, has been engaging in the National Voluntary Reviews (VNRs)\, presenting the viewpoint of our communities across the world (i.e.\, Roma\, Haratins\, Buraku\, Dalits\, Quilombola\, etc.). This year we would like to support those civil society representatives and other stakeholders interested in getting involved into their national VNRs\, by providing you the in-house knowledge and resources (i.e.\, training) on how to best engage in such advocacy activities from the perspective of communities discriminated on work and descent! \nMore about the VNRs \nAs part of its follow-up and review mechanisms\, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encourages member States to conduct regular and inclusive reviews of progress at the national and sub-national levels. The Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) aim to facilitate the sharing of experiences\, including successes\, challenges and lessons learned\, with a view to accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. \nFollowing states have expressed interest to carry out voluntary national reviews (VNRs) of their implementation of the 2030 Agenda at the 2024 HLPF: Argentina\, Armenia\, Austria\, Azerbaijan\, Belize\, Brazil\, Chad\, Colombia\, Congo (Republic of the)\, Costa Rica\, Ecuador\, Egypt\, Equatorial Guinea\, Eritrea\, Estonia\, Georgia\, Guinea\, Guinea Bissau\, Honduras\, Iran (Islamic Republic of)\, Kenya\, Lao People’s Democratic Republic\, Libya\, Mauritania\, Mauritius\, Mexico\, Micronesia (Federated States of)\, Namibia\, Nepal\, Oman\, Palau\, Peru\, Samoa\, Sierra Leone\, Solomon Islands\, South Africa\, South Sudan\, Spain\, Syrian Arab Republic\, Uganda\, Vanuatu\, Yemen\, Zimbabwe. \nMGoS responses during the VNR  \nThe Major Groups and Other Stakeholders provide the space for stakeholder engagement around the High Level Political Forum (HLPF). Stakeholders can also engage by: providing inputs to and reviewing drafts of VNRs of their respective countries; representing their constituents as part of government delegations; and participating in the presentation of the VNR to the HLPF. The MGoS launched a call for expression of interest from stakeholders from VNR countries in the preparation of statements for the upcoming HLPF. \nThe webinar Integrating the perspective of communities discriminated on work and descent in the voluntary national reviews \nAcross the globe\, communities discriminated on work and descent (CDWD) have been left from national sustainable development strategies and action plans. Ensuring “No one is left behind” in the developmental planning and implementation of the SDGs is one of the key priorities of the Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Decent. In this webinar we will touch upon the following: \n\nHow can we integrate a CDWD perspective in the VNR process and statement?\nHow can we prepare for the VNR/HLPF? \n\nApproaching the government under review and engage in formal consultations\nEncourage governments to include independent contributions in its VNR report and find ways to review the draft VNR report\nNational advocacy campaigns\nIn person meetings with VNR countries \nFactsheets \nThematic reports and shadow reports \n\n\nWhat after the VNR? Follow-up and continuous engagement \n\nMeet with other non-governmental stakeholders to reflect on the VNR process and discuss next steps to influence implementation and follow-up and review\nUrge governments to address the main findings of the VNR and to follow through on any commitments it made during the VNR process\n\n\n\nThe webinar will take place online. \n Please register here :https://theinclusivityproject-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAsc-qgrzgiG9L-Rk14VMyiyErIjtfG6WTv  \nInterpretation will be in  French\, Spanish and Portuguese will be provided. \nRead more about the 2024 VNRs here: MGoS\, DESA Flag Opportunities for Stakeholder Participation in 2024 HLPF | News | SDG Knowledge Hub | IISD

SUMMARY:Building Bridges Among Women Discriminated Against on Work and Descent
DESCRIPTION:We are living in times of great turmoil\, with protracted conflict\, the climate crisis and growing inequalities present in the world today. Amidst this growing crisis\, state and non-state actors have a very critical role to play in upholding the human rights of communities and individuals and ensuring respect of global standards. In this context\, continuing violence and human rights violations perpetrated against Communities Discriminated based on Work and Descent (CDWD) are of great concern. These communities number over 270 million individuals and suffer some of the harshest forms of marginalisation\, discrimination and social exclusion in the world. CDWD are known by various names\, such as Dalits and Burakumin in Asia\, the Bellah community in Mali\, the Haratin slave caste in Mauritania\, the Quilombola in Brazil and Roma in Europe and beyond. These communities share the common experience of living in socially segregated societies that discriminate against them based on the kinds of occupations that they practise and their family ancestry. Confronted with oppressive beliefs that label them as “unclean” or “polluted”\, CDWD are relegated to the margins of society. \nKey Objectives: \n\nSpotlight the discrimination and poverty faced by CDWD women.\nExplore the intersectionality of gender\, caste\, ethnicity\, race and socio-economic factors that contribute to the challenges faced by these communities.\nEmphasise the importance of addressing multiple layers of discrimination for effective policy-making and social change.\nFacilitate open discussions between women representatives of CDWD communities\, policymakers\, academics\, and activists.\nHighlight the achievements and resilience of women from these communities who have overcome adversity.\nDevelop recommendations and policy suggestions for governments and international organizations to address discrimination and poverty faced by these women.\nEncourage the integration of intersectional perspectives in existing policies and the creation of new initiatives tailored to the specific needs of these communities.\n\n  \nEvent format and outcomes: The event will include keynote addresses\, will utilise personal narratives\, documentaries\, and expert panels to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues. It will be accessible both in-person and virtually to ensure widespread participation. \nAim:This event  aims to contribute to the global conversation on gender equality by specifically addressing the discrimination and poverty faced by Roma\, Dalit\, Quilambola\, Buraku\, Haratine and other CDWD women. The event seeks to drive actionable initiatives\, promote inclusivity\, and empower these communities to build a more equitable future. It also aims to establish a platform for sharing best practices and fostering collaborations that can lead to tangible improvements in the lives of these women\, and\, potentially the establishment of an informal CDWD feminist network. \n\n\n\nOrganisers: \n\nThe Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (GFoD)\nThe Inclusivity Project (TIP)\nEuropean Roma Grassroots Organisations Network (ERGO)\nCoordenação Nacional de Articulação das Comunidades Negras Rurais Quilombolas (CONAQ)\nAsia Dalit Rights Forum\nAfrica Network on CDWD\n\nSpeakers include:\n– Simona Torotcoi\, European Roma Grassroots Organizations Network\n– Patricia Da Costa\, The National Coordination for the Articulation of Black Rural Quilombola Communities in Brazil (CONAQ)\n– Queen Bisseng\, Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent\n– Sonu Das\, Bangladesh Dalit and Excluded Rights Movement \n– Moderator: Beena Pallical\, Asia Dalit Rights Forum(ADRF) \n\n\nInterpretation : Spanish \, Portuguese and French\n\nParallel Event During the NGO CSW68 FORUM \nRegistration link : http://tinyurl.com/gfod20march \nTime: 02:30PM to 04:30PM  ET

SUMMARY:Commission on the Status of Women NGO Side Virtual Event : Feminization of poverty- How does poverty affect the lives of women discriminated against on work and descent?
DESCRIPTION:Global Forum of Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (GFoD)\, along with partner entities:  European Roma Grassroots Organisations Network (ERGO)\,  Feminist Collective of Romani Gender Experts\, and Romalitico – Institute for Research and Policy Analysis organise a side event focusing on addressing the intersectionality of discrimination\, marginalization and poverty faced by women from Communities Discriminated on Work and Descent (CDWD). \nWomen part of CDWD are regarded as one the most vulnerable groups in terms of social\, economic\, and political development. They experience intersectional discrimination and oppression because of overlapping social constructs of ability\, age\, work\, caste\, class\, and gender. The main challenge of CDWD women initially is seen in the lack of available disaggregated data and a focus on their specific needs in policy documents. Making progress towards greater inclusion of CDWD women and girls is not only a human rights imperative\, but  the recognition of their existence and addressing our challenges is one of the best ways to move forward in ensuring that CDWD are able to access education\, health services\, social benefits and employment opportunities.  \nBoth poverty and gender inequality represent distinct forms of social injustice\, posing significant threats to human rights\, individual well-being\, and the realization of one’s full potential in life\, as emphasized in the human development approach. Despite ongoing efforts to advance gender equality\, women continue to occupy an underprivileged position in our societies\, consequently facing an increased susceptibility to poverty. Women grappling with poverty encounter a dual risk and injustice\, both based on their gender and economic status. Poverty and gender are intertwined\, and in the past decade\, there has been a growing use of the term ‘feminization of poverty’ to describe the increasing proportion of women among those living in poverty\, especially women discrimination on work and descent (such as Dalit\, Roma\, Quilombola\, Burakumin). Some of the factors contributing to the feminization of poverty include intersectional discrimination\, distribution of resources within households influenced by patriarchal values\, lower rate of education and employment caused by systemic discrimination\, unequal access to property\, inadequate childcare\, segregation in education\, lack of access to digitalization etc. \nDuring this event\, together with representatives of communities discriminated against on work and descent we aim to explore the nuances of how different groups of women experience poverty. Moreover\, the event will also provide us with the platform to present good practices which have successfully helped women and girls in poverty. \nDuring the event\, we will also launch a regional report on the situation of Roma women in Europe! \nKeynote speech \n\nPenda Mbow\, Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar\n\nModerator:  \n\nMarija Sulejmanova\, Romalitico – Institute for Research and Policy Analysis\n\nSpeakers:  \n\nClaudia González\, Feminist Collective of Romani Gender Expert\nQueen Bisseng\, Central Africa Human Rights Defenders Network and GFoD\nVercilene\,  Coordenação Nacional de Articulação das Comunidades Negras Rurais Quilombolas\nLogeswary Ponniah\, Women Solidarity Front\, Kandy\nIsabela Mihalache\, Senior Advocacy Officer at ERGO Network\n\nTo know more about Speakers\, please click here \nTo know more about Speakers\, please visit : http://tinyurl.com/cswgfod15march \nTime: March 15\, 2024 11:30 – 12:30 ET/ 16:30 CET \nZoom Link : https://theinclusivityproject-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkdeiqrD8qEtF-TXR89mI3IeLs-EfZCfT-
