Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 64
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Administrative detention of migrants raises multiple human rights concerns, including a lack of legal protection, an absence of limits on the length of detention and few, if any, possibilities of obtaining redress through the courts. Women migrants held in immigration detention are subject to similar conditions as incarcerated women, including sexual and physical violence, violations of privacy and inadequate health care. The lack or inadequacy of interpretation and translation services may make it difficult or even impossible for women foreign nationals to make complaints or object to abuses. Cultural differences can also exacerbate these problems, especially where women migrants are used to complying unquestioningly with the demands of men or individuals in authority. Both a 1999 and a 2011 report note that although immigration detention facilities are civil and administrative forums, many function similarly to punitive correctional facilities in terms of confinement and isolation practices (E/CN.4/1999/68/Add.2 and A/HRC/17/26/Add.5 and Corr.1).
