E/C.12/SVN/CO/2 the implementation of the Equal Opportunities Between Men and Women Act (arts. 3 and 6). Taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 16 (2005) on the equal rights of men and women to the enjoyment of all economic, social and cultural rights, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Integrate a gender perspective into all its austerity measures with a view to ensuring respect for women’s rights under the Covenant under all circumstances; (b) Take effective measures to prevent women’s unemployment, especially among those with higher education, including by introducing temporary special measures with a specific target and timeline; (c) Strengthen the resources allocated to the Equal Opportunities and European Co-ordination Service, and expedite the adoption of the national gender equality strategy; (d) Effectively implement the Equal Opportunities between Men and Women Act and provide information on such measures in its next periodic report.
