Human rights

In addition, the Mission works on gender equality and domestic violence prevention within communities as a cross-cutting issue.

In practice, work on human and community rights includes legislative and policy review and analysis, support to the development of new policies and legislation, monitoring the work of executive, judicial, legislative, and law enforcement institutions related to human rights compliance. It focuses particularly on promoting appropriate police responses to cases of hate crimes and public gatherings. . Furthermore, the Mission provides training to staff working in public institutions and civil society organizations, and engages in outreach initiatives and human rights advocacy. It also works with public safety mechanisms – the Local Public Safety Committees (LPSC) and Municipal Safety Councils (MCSC) - to sensitise them to the need to contribute more to the safety of their localities, and to gender equality and youth inclusion in various processes.
