Paragraph- Paragraph text
- [The Special Rapporteur will be guided by the following overarching considerations in all aspects of her work:] Gender sensitivity. In the view of the Special Rapporteur, international and national efforts on disability have to a certain degree failed to systematically take into account a gender perspective; she therefore aims to pay special attention to gender sensitivity in her work, considering, in the first instance, the multifaceted discrimination and marginalization and the compounded violations of human rights that women and girls with disabilities face in most societies, as well as other persons or groups who may experience discrimination due to their sex or disability.
