A/69/274 few years. Furthermore, she plans to develop each of these themes in a collaborative and participatory manner. A. Marginalized and vulnerable groups 60. Addressing the housing conditions of persons in vulnerable situations and those in situations of exclusion and marginalization will be a priority of the mandate. The Special Rapporteur will continue to focus on non-discrimination and equality in the context of housing and ensure that all of her work is informed by the key principles of equality and non-discrimination. 61. The Special Rapporteur will also ensure that the housing conditions of women remain prominent within all aspects of the mandate. In this regard, she intends to continue the close collaboration the mandate holder has had with civil society organizations spearheading the work on women and the right to housing. She intends to cooperate with bodies within the United Nations system interested in developing a deeper understanding of women’s right to adequate housing, including human rights treaty monitoring bodies, the Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and in practice and other relevant special procedures. 62. Working closely with the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing hopes to further consider the housing conditions and experiences of indigenous peoples globally and to support the development of more effective strategies for protecting and ensuring their land and housing rights. 63. Drawing on the work on stigmatization and exclusion undertaken by her predecessor and other Special Rapporteurs, 21 the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing intends to conduct research into the ways in which housing status is linked to criminalization, stigmatization and exclusion and how that problem can be addressed. 64. The Special Rapporteur intends to place some focus on the housing rights of persons with disabilities and migrant workers (and their families). To that end, she will solicit information on the housing experiences and conditions of persons with disabilities and of migrant workers with a view to identifying barriers to adequate housing and developing recommendations for action at the national level on the part of States and other relevant stakeholders. 65. In relation to persons with disabilities, the Special Rapporteur wishes to find avenues for collaborative work with the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the soon-to-be-appointed Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities, to advance the understanding of the scope and nature of the right to adequate housing and the right to independent living in the light of the specific situations faced by persons with physical and mental disabilities. 66. Regarding migrant workers (and their families), the Rapporteur wishes to consider the particular vulnerabilities faced by such workers, especially if they are undocumented, in gaining access to and maintaining adequate housing and living __________________ 21 14-58890 See A/66/265 and A/HRC/21/42. 15/20
