Adequacy of the international legal framework on violence against women 2017, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Another key aspect was secondary protection for women and girls after violence had taken place to avoid further violence and secondary victimization. In that regard, there should be accessible shelters and durable housing solutions, especially for indigenous women and women in rural areas. In addition, the reception of refugee and migrant women needed to be in facilities which were safe (where they would not be mixed with men and therefore in danger).
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
