A/HRC/46/11 20. The delegation of Andorra also provided clarification on the specific case of Vanessa Mendoza, the head of Stop Violències, an association calling for the legalization of abortion, who had said that she had been subjected to judicial harassment, repression and intimidation by the Government. 21. The Government of Andorra had worked with the association since its founding. It had, for example, provided grants, invited the association to various meetings and authorized its activities. In spite of that, Stop Violències had, in 2019, filed complaints with the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women against various government offices, alleging violations of women’s rights, possible forced abandonment of children and other extremely serious acts. 22. Since some of those acts constituted criminal offences, the Government had transmitted the allegations to the public prosecutor’s office so that it could determine whether legal action should be taken. The office had not yet communicated its handling of the matter. However, the delegation of Andorra wished to make clear that, whatever the decision reached by the justice system, Ms. Mendoza did not risk imprisonment, contrary to what had been said in the media or reported by some non-governmental organizations. 23. The attention that the Government, which, incidentally, comprised equal numbers of men and women, paid to women’s rights had also been demonstrated by the efforts that it had made since early 2020 to minimize the effects of the lockdown on women experiencing gender-based or domestic violence. 24. In addition, three years earlier, the Department for Equality Policies had started offering training on violence against women and domestic violence to all professionals who might be called on to respond in such situations and workshops on preventing harassment at school. All three education systems addressed gender equality and equality in general from an early age. A plan to raise awareness of gender equality had been drawn up, and individuals had been assigned to act as lookouts with respect to the issue in schools. 25. Significant efforts had been made to promote the inclusion of children with disabilities in schools. For example, specialized professionals, educators and assistants had been assigned to each school. There was also a vocational training programme. In addition, the legislation had been amended to bring it into line with the requirements of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. 26. A number of measures aimed at further raising awareness of the rights of persons with disabilities and eliminating all barriers preventing persons with disabilities from living in dignity had been set forth in Act No. 4/2019 of 31 January 2019 on employment and the regulations on employment that had entered into force in February 2020. 27. Act No. 4/2018 of 22 March 2019 on Temporary and Transitional Protection on Humanitarian Grounds had made it possible for Andorra to receive two Syrian refugee families in October 2018, and a third family was expected to arrive in the coming weeks. The Andorran delegation recognized the role played by civil society in providing the best possible welcome for those families. 28. In 2017, Parliament had adopted a law on measures to combat trafficking in persons and protect victims in order to fight against that scourge. In 2018, the Government had adopted a specific procedure for the protection of victims of trafficking in persons. A comprehensive strategic road map for combating trafficking and protecting victims was being prepared. All officials working in the area had received training in 2019. B.
