Paragraph text
Deeply concerned that discrimination against women and girls persists in all cultures, with different levels of intensity and differing impact, 1 and by the fact that many women and girls everywhere, particularly those with disabilities and those who are marginalized or in a vulnerable situation, face multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and are still subject to discriminatory laws, policies and harmful practices, inter alia, female genital mutilation and child, early and forced marriage, and that de jure and de facto equality has not been achieved,
