The European Committee for Social Cohesion, Human Dignity and Equality (CDDECS) held its 1st meeting from 3 to 5 June 2014 in Strasbourg (France). The list of participants appears in Appendix I and the Agenda in Appendix II. According to the Agenda items, the CDDECS agreed, in particular, on the following:

Adopted the Agenda (see Appendix II below) and the order of business as proposed by the Secretariat in document CDDECS(2014)OJA rev. 5. Some delegations expressed reservations on the draft agenda.
Exchanged views with high level panellists (see List of participants in Appendix I), namely on the effects of austerity on the protection of human rights, on combatting discrimination, stereotypes and violence, on the ways to effectively ensure dignity, equality and the full enjoyment for all of all - civil, political, social, economic and cultural - human rights, paying special attention to vulnerable persons among women, children, persons with disabilities, the elderly, LGBTI persons and others that might have difficulties in enforcing their fundamental rights and freedoms;
Expressed support for the priorities outlined by the Commissioner of Human Rights, namely
i) promotion of equality and anti-discrimination bodies and measures in member states, and
ii) assessment of the social impact of austerity and reinforcement of human rights approach in national policies for a transformative equality;
Took note of the need for political leadership for change, the importance of multidisciplinary approaches and research, the need for increased capabilities of equality bodies, the necessity for training and public awareness, increased participation and representation in the public sphere by vulnerable groups;
Exchanged views with high level panellists and took note of the conclusions by the panel insisting on the universality and indivisibility of human rights and the need for their better implementation; more trust and confidence of citizens, namely from vulnerable groups, in justice and other available redress mechanisms.
Had a first exchange of views on the Committee’s Work Programme 2014-2015, agreed to develop further the part on social cohesion taking into account the existing social cohesion action plan and the strategy, and decided that:
-Gender Equality Commission (DECS-GEC)
Took note of the information provided by the Gender Equality Commission’s chair on the commission’s 2014-2017 strategy’s focus areas, which include combating gender stereotypes and sexism, preventing and combatting violence against women, guaranteeing equal access to justice for women, achieving equal participation for women and men in political decision making and achieving gender mainstreaming in all policies and measures;
Took note of the information provided by the Secretariat on the progress on the implementation of the Council of Europe strategy for the rights of the child (2012-2015), on the remaining challenges such as austerity’s effect on children, hyper-sexualisation and child poverty exclusion and on the actions suggested, namely child friendly services, child participation, empowerment, protection, anti-violence measures, transversality and open consultation and of the information on the process of preparing the next CoE strategy;
Thanked the representative of the previous committee on the rights of people with disabilities for the information provided in the light of the Council of Europe Disability Action Plan 2006-2015 (Rec(2006)5), and supported the ongoing work on the assessment of the implementation of the current Disability Action Plan and preparation to drafting a next action frame for 2016-2020 for the protection of persons with disabilities;
In accordance with the terms of reference of the DECS-GEC, the 47 member States of the Council of Europe are full members of the DECS-GEC. However, only 16 representatives of member States have their travel and subsistence expenses reimbursed by the Council of Europe.
Based on the proposal made by the GEC, decided by vote (13 votes to 12), that the next 16 representatives whose travel and subsistence expenses are to be borne by the Council of Europe in 2015[*] are those from Andorra, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Luxembourg, Republic of Moldova, Monaco, Norway, “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”, San Marino, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
