The delegation of Chile stated that, in dealing with the challenges caused by human mobility, Chile had played a leading role in addressing the regional crisis, which had triggered the proliferation of trafficking and smuggling networks and organized crime. The new Migration and Foreign Nationals Act took a human rights-based approach, as demonstrated by the incorporation of the principle of equality and non-discrimination and the principle of non-criminalization of irregular migration. It provided for the creation of the first National Policy on Migration and Foreign Nationals and the Statelessness Determination Council. 18. The delegation underscored the fact that Chile had taken several measures to promote gender equality, including the adoption of a feminist foreign policy. It had also adopted the Friendly Health Spaces Programme and the Women, Sexuality and Maternity Programme, both specifically aimed at providing girls and women with information and tools on sexual and reproductive health. Moreover, the delegation highlighted the publication of a manual on monitoring the abortion law, the work-life balance law and the maintenance payment law. In an effort to prevent and eradicate gender-based violence, the delegation underscored the recent adoption by the National Congress of the comprehensive gender-based violence law, which provided for economic support for the children of women who had been victims of femicide, and of the law strengthening the legislation prohibiting sexual harassment, workplace harassment and violence at work. Chile also noted the progress it had made in terms of respecting the human rights of women deprived of their liberty and prison defence. 19. The delegation highlighted initiatives regarding the rights of Indigenous Peoples, including the Presidential Commission for Peace and Understanding, which sought to address intercultural conflict in the Araucanía, Bio-Bio, Los Lagos and Los Ríos regions and to deepen effective and direct dialogue with the Indigenous communities living there. In addition, Chile had implemented the Buen Vivir Plan, which included measures on public investment in infrastructure, productive development and cultural revitalization. The delegation noted the measures taken to comply with recommendations relating to the right of Indigenous Peoples to consultation and highlighted the fact that since 2023, respect for their right to consultation had been evaluated through participatory meetings with leaders from 11 Indigenous communities. 20. Chile had adopted several measures to ensure the inclusion of persons with disabilities, including the National Plan on Universal Accessibility 2022–2032, the Employment Inclusion Support Programme and an access to justice programme for the provision of legal assistance to persons who had been victims of discrimination or rights violations on account of their disability. In addition, Chile had adopted a law authorizing higher education institutions to admit students registered in the National Disability Registry who had completed and passed an access programme to higher education without requiring them to take the entrance exam for universities. Other relevant measures included the adoption of regulatory frameworks for the inclusion of persons with disabilities within the workforce, the establishment of rules on equal opportunities and social inclusion, and the promotion of the use of sign language and the full social participation of deaf-blind individuals. 4 4 See https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k17/k17vix10z8.
