E/C.12/SVN/CO/2 social benefits for workers in the informal economy, and limited access to justice (arts. 7 and 9). The Committee urges the State party to take effective measures to ensure that all migrant workers enjoy the protection of labour laws and can access justice to remedy violations of their rights. The Committee further recommends that the State party bring those employers violating migrants’ labour rights to justice, prosecute them and impose commensurate sanctions, if convicted. Social security 18. The Committee is concerned that some social security benefits are calculated on the basis of a minimum income in the State party that is far below the actual minimum cost of living. The Committee is further concerned that measures taken to address the economic crisis in the State party have resulted in reducing coverage and the amount of health care, pension and unemployment benefits. Such measures also introduced stricter eligibility conditions for social assistance benefit, disproportionately affecting marginalized groups and individuals, including unemployed persons, persons with disability, and older persons (arts. 2 and 9). Recalling its general comment No. 19 (2008) on the right to social security, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Revise the eligibility conditions and rates for social security benefits, including social assistance, while taking into account the actual cost of living in the State party, and paying particular attention to unemployed persons, persons with disability, and older persons; (b) Ratify International Labour Organization Convention No. 118 (1962) concerning Equality of Treatment (Social Security). Domestic violence 19. The Committee is concerned about the high prevalence of domestic violence in the State party, despite the implementation of the National Programme of Family Violence Prevention (2009–2014) and the adoption of some other measures. The Committee also expresses its concern at the limited effectiveness of protection mechanisms for victims of domestic violence, including the lack of enforcement of restraining orders issued against alleged perpetrators, and at the lenient sanctions imposed by courts against such perpetrators (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to take all effective measures, including by introducing the necessary amendments to the Family Violence Prevention Act, to prevent incidents of domestic violence. The State party should ensure that protection mechanisms available to victims of violence are effectively implemented, including enforcement of restraining orders, adequate access to shelters for immediate physical protection, provision of legal aid and medical services, and remedies and compensation. The Committee also urges the State party to step up its public awareness measures, and to provide training to law enforcement officials and judges on the serious and criminal nature of domestic violence, also with a view to imposing commensurate sanctions against perpetrators. Standard of living 20. The Committee is concerned about the increasing risk of poverty in the State party, faced by especially disadvantaged and marginalized groups such as older persons, including pensioners, women, persons with disabilities, Roma, single-parent families and families 6
