This landmark initiative calls for a new approach to public services that will address current crises and build more sustainable, socially just and resilient economies and societies.In November 2021, we convened 'Enough is enough II: The Future is Public'. This event brought together nine human rights representatives to reflect on the crucial role of public services during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and transition to a more sustainable and resilient economy and society. The panel discussion was watched by over 500 participants from across the world.In Cte dIvoire, after we published a report on privatisation and commercialisation with the Mouvement Ivoirien des Droits de lHomme (Human Rights Movement of Ivory Coast), the Minister of Education announced that the government would conduct an annual assessment of private schools. On the eve of the reports launch, a Ministerial Executive Instrument prohibited the sale of school manuals and learning materials in school premises.In December, the Ministry of Education of Senegal announced a similar review after COSYDEP, a Senegalese education coalition, published, with GI-ESCR support, a report on the private education sector. The National Employers Council also announced that it would investigate private secondary, vocational and higher education in Senegal.In 2021, GI-ESCR continued to support efforts to ensure that the Abidjan Principles on the right to education, adopted in 2019, are widely recognised and integrated in national education plans. As a member of the Secretariat, GI-ESCR played a leading role in their development. In June, advocacy efforts led by GI-ESCR helped to ensure that the UN Human Rights Council recognised the Abidjan Principles in a resolution on the right to education. The resolution called on UN agencies to provide technical assistance, in association with the Global Partnership for Education and civil society, to help States realise the right to education during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.GI-ESCR was actively involved in establishing the Consortium Against the Commercialisation of Healthcare, an informal network of organisations that coordinates analysis and responses to commercialised healthcare. GI-ESCR has pursued opportunities to strengthen the regulation of private provision of water services. We continue to collaborate closely with the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to water and sanitation and to draw attention to the growing financialisation of water. 135696 Institutional Frameworks:GI-ESCR has become a key player in Chiles social and political ecosystem. Recognised for its expertise on economic, social and cultural rights and its support for a participatory constitutional reform process, GI-ESCR constantly engages with unions and social organisations, NGOs and members of the constitutional convention. To take advantage of the unique opportunity in Chile and to meet the commitments we have made, we reinforced the Chile team in 2021 and developed specific tools for promoting public participation, including Distrito Global and La Constitucin es Nuestra, digital platforms for information and collaboration.Our work in Chile has been widely disseminated in national and international media. Since we launched our constitutional programme in Chile, more than fifty media outlets, including national television channels and radio stations, have reported on our work.Concerned that the Constitutional Convention might not be able to translate womenslongstanding demands for rights into norms, we brought together 26 feminist organisations from across the country to share their experiences and demands for economic, social and cultural rights. We examined those demands in "Ms que Juanitas". This report makes specific recommendations on how the new Constitution might incorporate womens demands. Launched in the presence of civil society organisations, members of the Constitutional Convention and academics.GI-ESCR has facilitated cross-movement alliances of progressive actors to advance the public services and tax justice agenda in the context of constitutional reform. 90348 Environmental Breakdown & Just Transitions:Adopting an intersectional gender focus In 2021. GI-ESCR adopted a strategic intersectional gender focus across its programmatic priorities. Some examples of our efforts to mainstream gender: A gender-just transition to a low carbon world, Feminist alternatives to the commercialisation of public services, Engagement with key international womens rights and gender equality mechanisms and fora, Womens rights to land and other productive resources, Realising womens rights in Chiles constitutional process, Fiscal justice to achieve gender justice.With ProDESC, a Mexican civil society organisation, GI-ESCR helped identify the gender impact of a large wind park built in the Zapotecan indigenous community of Unin Hidalgo, in the windswept Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico. We organised a dialogue with women human rights defenders in the community at which they analysed the disproportionate impacts on womens rights of the project. GI-ESCRs working relationship with ProDESC and local communities opened new research and advocacy perspectives. We are currently sharing the experiences of the women of Unin Hidalgo in several further advocacy spaces as well as with UN human rights mechanisms and other actors. 603120 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false true false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false MN X X X Monica Ovalle 5554189154 Presa de las Vrgenes 152 ColIrrigac Miguel Hidfalgo CDMX MX 11500 Magdalena Sepulveda Carmona Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 145344 0 1750 Sylvain Aubry Dir.
