E/C.12/CHN/CO/2 social and cultural rights, in line with the Paris Principles, and provide it with adequate financial and human resources. Non-discrimination 54. The Committee notes with concern that Macao, China has not yet adopted comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation and that widespread discrimination against migrants, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons, persists in Macao, China, particularly in employment, health care, education and housing. The Committee also notes with concern that de facto discrimination against persons with disabilities persists, particularly in the field of employment (art. 2, para. 2). The Committee urges Macao, China to consider the adoption of comprehensive antidiscrimination legislation, in compliance with article 2, paragraph 2, of the Covenant and taking into account the Committee’s general comment No 20 (2009) on nondiscrimination in economic, social and cultural rights. The Committee recommends that Macao, China, take all appropriate measures, including awareness-raising campaigns, to address the de facto discrimination against persons with disabilities. Sexual harassment at the workplace 55. While noting that the Labour Affairs Bureau has been mandated to handle complaints against sexual harassment in the workplace, the Committee is concerned about the absence of specific legislation proscribing sexual harassment and about the lack of specific measures to raise awareness to eliminate sexual harassment (art. 7). The Committee urges Macao, China, to introduce into its legislation an offence of sexual harassment in the workplace which carries sanctions proportionate to the severity of the offence. The Committee also recommends that Macao, China, ensure that victims can lodge complaints without fear of retaliation. The Committee recommends that Macao, China, take appropriate measures to raise public awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace. Migrant domestic workers 56. The Committee is concerned at reports of unfavourable conditions of work faced by migrant workers, particularly migrant domestic workers, who are employed without formal contracts, excluded from receiving the minimum wage and from the social welfare system, and required to work long hours (arts. 7 and 9). The Committee recommends that Macao, China, take all appropriate measures to ensure the effective and equal application of labour legislation to migrant workers, in order to guarantee their right to just and favourable conditions of work, as enshrined in article 7 of the Covenant. 57. Although the Basic Law states that citizens of Macao, China have the right to strike, the Committee is concerned about the absence of legislation to protect workers from retribution and that workers organizing or participating in a strike are at risk of dismissal (art. 8). The Committee strongly recommends that, in line with its obligations under article 8 of the Covenant, Macao, China, take all necessary measures to ensure that workers enjoy their trade union rights without undue restrictions or interference. 17
