Paragraph
Paragraph text
Understanding rights as universal should in no way result in an erasure of specifics and localities and should rather advance by re-engaging the local. The creation of false universalisms and cultural essentialisms can be avoided using a holistic approach and recognizing the diverse experiences of women's oppression.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences
