Violence against women as a barrier to the effective realization of all human rights 2014, para. 58

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur is deeply concerned about the weakening of the women's rights sector resulting from funding cuts for core service provision, including legal, policy and advocacy work. Cuts in funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as a form of reprisal against the work of women human rights defenders, are also of concern. This issue has been raised in numerous reports of treaty bodies and NGOs.
