Modalities for the establishment of femicides/gender-related killings watch 2016, para. 79
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The importance of data collection is also broadly recognized in international human rights law, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the recommendations made by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, which provides a legal basis and practical guidance for the promotion and development of statistics, disaggregated by sex. The Committee explicitly recognized the importance of statistical data to understand the situation of women and recommended that States should ensure that their national statistical services formulated their questionnaires in such a way that data could be disaggregated according to gender. In paragraph 24 (c) of its general recommendation No. 19, the Committee recommended that States parties should encourage the compilation of statistics and research on the extent, causes and effects of violence and on the effectiveness of measures to prevent and deal with violence.
