E/C.12/LIE/CO/2-3 efforts of other States parties in combating tax evasion and tax abuse schemes. The Committee further recommends that the State party provide in its next periodic report detailed information on the impact of such measures and on related investigations launched and their outcomes. The Committee refers the State party to its general comment No. 24 (2017) on State obligations under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in the context of business activities, paragraph 37. Anti-discrimination legislation 11. While noting the amendment to article 283 of the Criminal Code, which broadened the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination, the Committee regrets the absence of comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation in the State party (art. 2). 12. The Committee recommends that the State party adopt comprehensive antidiscrimination legislation, which includes all prohibited grounds for discrimination, covers not only direct but also indirect discrimination and provides for the implementation of temporary special measures and remedies for victims, and ensure its systemic application. The Committee refers the State party to its general comment No. 20 (2009) on non-discrimination in economic, social and cultural rights. Persons with disabilities 13. The Committee is concerned about the lack of statistical data on the enjoyment of the Covenant rights by persons with disabilities. The Committee is also concerned that the concept of reasonable accommodation is not incorporated into relevant legislation, which may contribute to de facto discrimination against persons with disabilities (art. 2). 14. The Committee recommends that the State party collect disaggregated data to monitor the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights by persons with disabilities and provide information and statistical data in this respect in the next periodic report. The Committee also recommends that the State party incorporate the concept of reasonable accommodation into all legislation affecting persons with disabilities and take measures to ensure its implementation. Equality between men and women 15. While noting the efforts to promote gender equality pursued by the Equal Opportunity Unit before its dissolution in 2016 and the introduction of related legislative amendments, the Committee is concerned about the absence of a specific mechanism for the promotion of gender equality. It also notes with concern that traditional gender roles and stereotypes of women and men in the family and society persist and the low representation of women in political and decision-making positions (art. 3). 16. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Establish a well-resourced and effective mechanism for the promotion and protection of gender equality; (b) Continue implementing gender equality legislation and establish an effective monitoring and evaluation mechanism to ensure that this process is assessed against a clear set of indicators; (c) Put in place, and effectively implement, a comprehensive policy with proactive and sustained measures to overcome stereotypical attitudes about the roles and responsibilities of women and men in the family and in society, and monitor the impact of the measures taken on the perception of gender roles by society; (d) Continue to assess the underlying causes of the underrepresentation of women in political and decision-making positions and take appropriate measures, including through strengthening the system of quotas and other temporary special measures, to close this gap. 3
