Continuum of violence against women from the home to the transnational sphere: the challenges of effective redress 2011, para. 23
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The thematic and country mission reports produced by the Special Rapporteur help provide a framework for addressing distinct forms of gender-based violence by analysing the causes and consequences of violence, and elaborating on the role of both States, non-State actors, and regional and international stakeholders in combating violence in the public and private domains. Thematic reports also help inform policy and shape the advancement of women's human rights standards in international law. For example, the Special Rapporteur's 2010 report on reparations has been used by OHCHR to implement a project on reparations and capacity-building in northern Uganda, as well as a joint project with the United Nations Joint Human Rights Office, which focuses on remedies and reparations for victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
