E/C.12/GRC/CO/2 24. The Committee recommends that the State party reconsider cuts to benefits from non-contributory schemes insofar as they affect the most disadvantaged and marginalized groups, and reverse the cuts on contributory social security benefits as soon as possible. Referring the State party to the Committee’s general comment No. 19 (2007) on the right to social security, the Committee recommends that the State party adopt a human rights-based approach in assessing the impact of cuts on benefits and provide disaggregated statistics in its next periodic report on how the austerity measures have affected the enjoyment of the right to social security. Domestic work 25. The Committee expresses concern about the absence of comprehensive legislation that fully protects the rights of domestic workers, and at the conditions of work, including pay and working terms, being laid down through individual agreements between employers and domestic workers. It notes with concern the absence of statistics, disaggregated by age and sex, on domestic workers in the State party (arts. 6 and 7). 26. The Committee recommends that the State party regulate domestic work through a law and ensure that its legislation and regulations: (a) Guarantee domestic workers the same conditions as other workers as regards remuneration for work of equal value, protection against unfair dismissal, occupational health and safety, rest and leisure, limitation of working hours, social security, housing and change of employer; (b) Pay particular attention to conditions that render domestic workers vulnerable to compulsory labour and sexual assault; (c) Establish an inspection mechanism for monitoring the conditions of work of domestic workers. Domestic violence 27. The Committee reiterates its previous concerns (see E/C.12/1/Add.97, paras. 16 and 37) about the high incidence of domestic violence, the low rates of prosecution and the absence of effective measures to protect victims. While the Committee welcomes the statistical data provided by the State party, it regrets that that information is not made readily accessible to the general public and does not contain data disaggregated by sex, age, other relevant status and relationship between victim and perpetrator (art. 10). 28. The Committee recommends that the State party strengthen measures aimed at preventing and combating domestic violence by addressing the root causes of such violence and ensuring the effective implementation of the existing relevant legal and policy frameworks, including by: (a) Pursuing its efforts to raise widely the awareness of the public at large, and in particular boys and men, about the unacceptability of any form of domestic violence and its criminal nature; (b) Continuing to encourage the reporting of domestic violence cases by, inter alia, informing women of their rights and existing legal avenues to receive protection against domestic violence and strengthening the services available to victims, including victims with disabilities; (c) Ensuring that law enforcement authorities, as well as medical and social workers, continue to receive appropriate training to deal with cases of domestic violence, including on the special needs of persons with disabilities; 6
