Women human rights defenders and those working on women’s rights or gender issues 2011, para. 30
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Previous analyses of the situation of women human rights defenders have tended to focus on the situation of female human rights defenders, i.e. women who, individually or in association with others, act to promote or protect human rights, including women's rights. However, this report will have a somewhat broader scope and will include female defenders but also male human rights defenders working on women's rights as well as on gender issues. Furthermore, account will also be taken of violations against spouses, partners and family members of both female defenders and male human rights defenders.
