The Special Rapporteur recognizes that the mandate has become a visible, respected and credible mechanism to guide States, civil society actors, other stakeholders and the international community on the elimination of violence against women, its causes and consequences. Since the establishment of the mandate in 1994, the landscape surrounding it has changed, with the development of international and regional frameworks and mechanisms on violence against women that direct the mandate, to reshape its role and to focus on prevention, implementation challenges and stronger collaboration with all other relevant global and regional mechanisms, in order to accelerate the elimination of violence against women, its causes and consequences.
