Vision-setting report 2016, para. 57
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The mandate holder has visited a number of shelters and made recommendations on their availability in specific countries to ensure that women can have access to them (see E/CN.4/2006/61/Add.5 and A/HRC/4/34/Add.2 and Add.4). Women's shelters should offer specialized services for women, providing safe accommodation and support for women who have been subjected to violence and their children. In addition to these services, other prevention and protection measures should be available, including efficient and immediate protection and barring orders for survivors, witnesses and their families. The Special Rapporteur intends to work on a compilation of good practices that could guide the establishment of shelters and support for women and children, and a compilation of good practices on protection orders.
