Session II : “Unpacking” and Applying <strong>the</strong> Right to Adequate Housing and Gender: The Elements and Monitoring Framework 15:00–15:30 Nondiscrimination and gender equality in <strong>the</strong> right to adequate housing (Dianne Otto) The idea behind this session is to elaborate fur<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> legal provisions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> over-riding principle <strong>of</strong> nondiscrimination and gender equality in <strong>the</strong> legal sources. This will take <strong>the</strong> general issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> HRAH to bring more specificity, as is required in law. It will explore <strong>the</strong> legal contradictions between cultural-relativity concepts and some states’ “reservations” to <strong>the</strong> human rights treaties and <strong>the</strong> international public law order (e.g., Vienna Convention Article 27 on domestic law as no excuse for non-implementation <strong>of</strong> a treaty). It is intended that this session will provide forensic tolls for <strong>the</strong> participants to argue against <strong>the</strong> typical excuses for <strong>of</strong>ficial and social practices that discrimination against women in land and housing. 15:30-15:45 Tea Break 15.45–16.30 (Continue….) Nondiscrimination and gender equality in <strong>the</strong> right to adequate housing (Dianne Otto) 16:30–17:20 Contextualising <strong>the</strong> Tool Kit and Loss Matrix in a Gender Perspective (Dianne Otto/ Joseph Schechla) Participants will be asked to contextualise <strong>the</strong> essential elements presented in <strong>the</strong> Tool Kit and Loss Matrix from a gender perspective. 17:20–17:30 Overview <strong>of</strong> Day 2 (Miloon Kothari) DAY TWO, 13 October 2004 09:00- 09:15 Overview Day 2 (Gina Houng Lee) 09:15–10:00 Housing and Land Rights in <strong>the</strong> Pacific: An Overview (Gina Houng Lee and Sue Lemersier) 10:00 – 11.15 (Continue….)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 67
12:30–1:30 Using <strong>the</strong> HRAH Framework in Problem-solving Strategies (Joseph Schechla & Miloon Kothari) Participants will return to <strong>the</strong> general framework for monitoring and presenting <strong>the</strong>ir cases. The present session will advise <strong>the</strong> participants on how to select appropriate elements to monitor. The resource person also will guide <strong>the</strong> participants in selecting and posing solutions as <strong>the</strong> necessary compliment to <strong>the</strong> violations approach to human rights monitoring and advocacy. The multiple uses <strong>of</strong> this monitoring approach will also be discussed as an aspect <strong>of</strong> strategic planning. 13:30–14:00 Preparing and Selecting Participant Cases for Presentation (Joseph Schechla) The course now turns to a training-<strong>of</strong>-trainers approach, whereby participants will be asked to work in five <strong>the</strong>matic groups and prepare a presentation on aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>the</strong>me within <strong>the</strong> monitoring framework, to identify legal elements <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> HRAH have been violated and to be thorough in <strong>the</strong>ir identification <strong>of</strong> violations committed. Possible Themes: • Indigenous Land Rights and Rights to Natural Resources • Violence against Women and <strong>the</strong> Right to Housing • Discrimination and segregation in eviction and housing • Legal and cultural obstacles to land, inheritance and property rights <strong>of</strong> women • Migration Participants will learn about <strong>the</strong> need to focus on <strong>the</strong> essential elements and prioritise information. For this, participants will receive copies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> HLRN Urgent Actions methodology as a fur<strong>the</strong>r tool. Participants will also be introduced to <strong>the</strong> SRAH’s questionnaire in more detail looking at it as a tool for both monitoring and advocacy. However, <strong>the</strong> objective in this session will be to ask for each group to prepare and select one person to present a report, which can contribute to <strong>the</strong> SR’s study before <strong>the</strong>ir colleagues. 14:00–15:30 Lunch (slightly longer to allow for presenters and <strong>the</strong>ir groups to prepare and consult with resources persons) Session IV: Exchanging Cases and Strategies 15:30–16:30 Presentation <strong>of</strong> participant cases, followed by discussion (Jospeh Schechla) The first three <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> groups will present <strong>the</strong>ir cases within 15 minutes, and <strong>the</strong> fellow participants will have <strong>the</strong> chance to ask questions and propose refinements to <strong>the</strong> presentations, using <strong>the</strong>ir “Tool Kit.” (Time will allow for 10–15 responses and discussion from <strong>the</strong> audience.) 16:30–16:45 Tea Break 16:45–17:30 Presentation <strong>of</strong> participant cases, followed by discussion The last two groups will present <strong>the</strong>ir cases within 15 minutes, and <strong>the</strong> fellow participants will have <strong>the</strong> chance to ask questions and propose refinements to <strong>the</strong> presentations, using <strong>the</strong>ir “Tool Kit.” 17:30–18:00 Concluding remarks and discussion (Miloon Kothari) 68 WOMEN’S RIGHTS TO ADEQUATE HOUSEING AND LAND
