Mr. President,
Denmark welcomes the delegation of India.
Denmark commends India’s efforts in improving gender rights of women, girls and transgender people. India has made strong efforts to combat child labour with ratification of ILO convention no. 138 and 182. Women and girls are especially vulnerable to the repercussions of climate change.
Denmark recommends India to:
1. Implement existing measures and ensure that adequate resources are set aside to strengthen girls’ education and women’s labour market participation in order to better their economic resilience towards climate change repercussions.
2. Improve the enforcement of the legal provisions prohibiting harmful and discriminatory practices against women and girls in accordance with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
3. Ratify the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
Denmark wishes India a successful review.
I thank you.
