A/HRC/20/25 women’s overrepresentation among the poor. She calls on the Government to ensure the full and effective implementation of the legislation. B. Situation of people vulnerable to poverty 66. Those most vulnerable to poverty in Bangladesh include women, children, persons with disabilities, minority groups, indigenous peoples and refugees. As described in the mission report, these groups experience multiple forms of stigmatization and intolerance and are frequently deprived of the opportunities and resources necessary to enjoy minimum essential levels of economic, social and cultural rights (A/HRC/15/55, paras. 14–33). According to the information available to the Special Rapporteur, it appears that the situation of the most vulnerable groups in Bangladesh has not changed significantly since her visit. She reiterates the need for Bangladesh to actively tackle discrimination against those groups and ensure their access to services and adequate social protection. Refugees 67. One of the groups most vulnerable to poverty in Bangladesh is Rohingya refugees. The Special Rapporteur had encouraged the Government to consider a system for identifying and registering refugees and ensuring their access to basic services. Information received indicates that despite some efforts to improve the situation in the refugee camps, the refugees’ rights to move in and out of the camps, to work and gain a livelihood, and to access education are circumscribed. This situation is exacerbated by the Government’s prohibition of civil society organizations working in the areas surrounding the camps, and by the lack of an official refugee policy or registration system. The Special Rapporteur again calls on Bangladesh to prioritize improving the situation of the Rohingya refugees, who are entitled to enjoy minimum essential levels of enjoyment of human rights. 68. The Government must pursue durable solutions to the situation, and in this regard should finalize its refugee policy and take measures to reinstate the resettlement programme run by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which was suspended in November 2010. As the political situation improves in Myanmar, the Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to seek out resettlement options that prioritize and protect the rights and interests of the refugees. C. Social protection 69. While recognizing the clear prioritization of social protection as a means of poverty reduction in Bangladesh in many of the country’s legal, institutional and budgetary policies and arrangements, the Special Rapporteur had expressed concern at serious shortcomings in the social protection system that greatly undermined its effectiveness in reaching the large majority of those living in poverty. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur made numerous recommendations with respect to, inter alia, improving coverage, rectifying fragmentation and adopting a long-term comprehensive strategy, minimizing exclusion errors, and improving the enforcement of labour standards. 70. A considerable impediment to the effectiveness of the social protection strategy in Bangladesh is widespread fragmentation and lack of coordination in implementing social safety nets and social services. The Government continues to prefer social safety net programmes over a long-term, comprehensive system. More than 60 such programmes exist in Bangladesh, many of them operated by numerous civil society organizations or donor 14
