Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 100
Paragraph
Paragraph text
This report shows the usefulness of a holistic approach in addressing the interconnections between violence against women, its causes and consequences; and multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination. A holistic approach underscores the interdependence and indivisibility of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights; it situates violence against women on a continuum; it acknowledges the structural aspects and factors of discrimination, which includes structural and institutional inequalities; and it analyzes social and/or economic hierarchies between women and men and also among women.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences
