Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 21
Paragraph
Paragraph text
It has been acknowledged that violence results from a complex interplay of individual, family, community and social factors, and that, even though all women are at risk of violence in every society in the world, not all women are equally vulnerable to acts and structures of violence. Representing both the universality and the particularity of women's risk of violence requires the social location and bodily attributes of individuals and groups to be explicitly accounted for.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences
