Continuum of violence against women from the home to the transnational sphere: the challenges of effective redress 2011, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- Human rights are universal. Everyone is entitled to have their human rights respected, protected and fulfilled regardless of their geographic location or social position, and this includes the right of women to be free from violence. Yet, understanding rights as universal should not preclude States from taking into consideration the specificities of violence against women and engaging at a local level to adequately recognize the diverse experiences of oppression faced by women. The programmatic responses to violence against women cannot be considered in isolation from the context of individuals, households, communities or States.

Paragraph
Continuum of violence against women from the home to the transnational sphere: the challenges of effective redress 2011, para. 82
- Paragraph text
- Human rights are also interdependent and indivisible. States should move beyond the erroneous focus that privileges civil and political rights and recognize how the denegation of social, economic, and cultural rights restricts women from meaningfully exercising civil and political life. In pursuing a holistic approach to understanding discrimination and violence against women, it is imperative to include an analysis of the right to an adequate standard of living and also a focus on, inter alia, bodily integrity rights, education, civil and political engagement and individual self-determination. These fundamentals directly affect a woman's ability to equitably and holistically participate in public and private spaces.

Paragraph
Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 105
- Paragraph text
- Utilizing a holistic approach improves the ability of policymakers, non-state actors and others to see the interconnections between multiple forms of discrimination and the generation of different forms of violence against women. Efforts to end all forms of violence against women will not be successful if they continue to be solely focused on the immediate health concerns of the victims, or on implementing legal measures that only consider the most severe forms of abuse. Violence against women happens because it can. Determining how best to protect, promote and fulfil women's rights to non-discrimination, equality and freedom from violence is fundamentally a question of law - with affirmative State obligations associated with preventing and eliminating gender-based violence, whether public or private.

Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- Under international law, "all persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person". Prisoners may not be subjected to any hardship or constraint other than that resulting from the deprivation of liberty, and respect for the dignity of such persons must be guaranteed under the same conditions as that of free persons. Moreover, this fundamental rule must be applied without distinction of any kind, including discrimination on the basis of sex. This principle of non-discrimination requires States to take into account and address any disparate impact of criminal justice strategies on women, even if they have been adopted for legitimate goals such as, for example, the "war on drugs". States are directed to develop policies based on women's special needs as criminal justice offenders.

Paragraph
Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 82
- Paragraph text
- In 2011, the General Assembly, by its resolution 65/229, adopted the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders (the Bangkok Rules), which established for the first time standards that relate specifically to women prisoners, offenders and accused persons. The Bangkok Rules recognize that the international law principle of non discrimination requires States to address the particular challenges that women confront in the criminal justice and penitentiary systems (rule 1). They provide comprehensive standards for the treatment of women prisoners and offenders, addressing issues such as prior victimization and its links with incarceration; alternatives to incarceration; mental and physical health care; safety and security; contact with family members; staff training; pregnant women and mothers with children in prison; and prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration, among other things.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 77
- Paragraph text
- The State responsibility to act with due diligence must continue to evolve in a cumulative and inclusive approach. Relevant factors can include: measuring States' obligations and duties to prevent violence; ensuring both State and non-State actor accountability; and addressing root causes of violence and the sources of discrimination that intersect in the actual experiences of women. Eliminating violence against women requires a multi-stakeholder approach to accountability that includes monitoring State and non-State actors for compliance and including them as direct duty bearers for prevention, protection and change. Human rights due diligence requires an investigation and evaluation to assess whether universally accepted human rights principles apply in a State's own behaviour and in a State's monitoring of third party behaviour - be they individuals or organizations.

- The importance of data collection is also broadly recognized in international human rights law, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the recommendations made by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, which provides a legal basis and practical guidance for the promotion and development of statistics, disaggregated by sex. The Committee explicitly recognized the importance of statistical data to understand the situation of women and recommended that States should ensure that their national statistical services formulated their questionnaires in such a way that data could be disaggregated according to gender. In paragraph 24 (c) of its general recommendation No. 19, the Committee recommended that States parties should encourage the compilation of statistics and research on the extent, causes and effects of violence and on the effectiveness of measures to prevent and deal with violence.

Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- Most States lack a specific and comprehensive law, policy or programme on persons with disabilities in general or on women with disabilities in particular. States that have a disability law do not specifically address the rights of women with disabilities in general, or violence specifically. States may also have a specific law on violence against women that generally provides remedies for all women, within a non-discriminatory framework. Unfortunately, such laws are not effectively implemented in respect of women with disabilities.

Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 107
- Paragraph text
- The interdependence of human rights requires countries to ratify all human rights treaties and optional protocols. While determining how best to protect, promote and fulfil women's rights to non-discrimination, equality and freedom from violence, it is essential that States respect their international commitments under the due diligence obligation to prevent, protect and provide compensation to women victims of violence perpetrated both in the public and private spheres, as well as to hold the perpetrators of such violence responsible for their actions. These obligations include a wide range of issues, including the adoption of legislation and public policies, and increased educational efforts aimed at addressing the prejudices and stereotypes on which gender-based violence and multiple forms of discrimination are based. Efforts should also support and empower the work being done by civil society in its efforts to combat violence against women.

Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 108
- Paragraph text
- The United Nations system and the United Nations human rights mechanisms should also strive to adopt a holistic approach to violence against women and multiple forms of discrimination. In particular, UN Women, which has the mandate to lead and coordinate United Nations efforts to protect and promote women's rights, should be mindful to integrate a holistic approach. This will require efforts at gender-mainstreaming which systematically adopt a twin-track approach of both mainstreaming and specificity, which take into account women's inter- and intra-gender equality and non-discrimination rights, and also the right to be free of all forms of violence, both public and private.

The Sustainable Development Goal process must not, however, derogate from the obligation of States to respect, protect and fulfil women’s human rights in all fields of life, in accordance with existing international human rights law in customary law and treaty obligations. An independent monitoring mechanism should be integrated into this process;

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 71
- Paragraph text
- Systemic due diligence refers to the obligations States must take to ensure a holistic and sustained model of prevention, protection, punishment and reparations for acts of violence against women. At a systemic level, States can meet their responsibility to protect, prevent and punish by, among other things, adopting or modifying legislation; developing strategies, action plans and awareness-raising campaigns and providing services; reinforcing the capacities and power of police, prosecutors and judges; adequately resourcing transformative change initiatives; and holding accountable those who fail to protect and prevent, as well as those who perpetrate violations of human rights of women. Also, States have to be involved more concretely in overall societal transformation to address structural and systemic gender inequality and discrimination.

Violence against women as a barrier to the effective realization of all human rights 2014, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- Although many States have acknowledged violence against women as a widespread and systematic human rights violation and are working on eradicating it, to differing degrees at the national level, the normative gap within international law as regards violence against women is a barrier to holding States accountable for the failure to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of women. As demonstrated in the present report, violence against women has an impact on all human rights, including civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, thereby acting as a barrier to the exercise of full, inclusive and participatory citizenship.

Violence against women as a barrier to the effective realization of all human rights 2014, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Furthermore, the General Assembly recalled Economic and Social Council resolution 1991/18 of 30 May 1991, in which the Council recommended the development of a framework for an international instrument that would address explicitly the issue of violence against women. The Assembly also expressed alarm that opportunities for women to achieve legal, social, political and economic equality in society are limited, inter alia, by continuing and endemic violence. Two decades on, it is clear that there needs to be further recognition that full, inclusive and participatory citizenship requires that violence against women be seen as a barrier to the realization of all human rights, and consequently, to the effective exercise of citizenship rights.

Paragraph
Existing legal standards and practices regarding violence against women in three regional human rights systems and activities being undertaken by civil society regarding the normative gap in international human rights law 2015, para. 64
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has participated in numerous meetings and discussions on the subject of the normative gap in international law in respect of violence against women (see A/HRC/29/27/Add.5). The submissions received from organizations and individuals indicate the need for deeper discussions at the United Nations level. The interactive dialogue at the Human Rights Council session in June 2015 provided an opportunity for questions and comments from member States on the issue. Broadly, the opinions expressed include the following: there is sufficient and applicable international law in existence and thus the focus should rather be on developing strategies and action plans for the implementation of laws at the national level; and a new instrument introduces the risk of duplication with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the regional instruments on violence against women. Support was expressed for a new legally binding instrument, without any reservations, and views were expressed that the idea deserved further consideration and discussion by member States. The conclusion of the Special Rapporteur is that despite the broad norms relating to respect for and the protection and fulfilment of human rights, within an equality and non-discrimination framework, member States have accepted the need to adopt 10 specific treaties since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights came into existence. This is a reflection of the understanding and acceptance of the importance of specificity with respect to certain human rights issues. Unfortunately, when the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was drafted, the need for specific provisions on violence against women and girls was not considered. It is time to now consider addressing this normative gap regarding a pervasive and widespread human rights violation. The inter-American and the European conventions on violence against women provide a starting point for a global discussion on the development of an instrument that would have universal applicability.

It must additionally be acknowledged that the same violations may entail different harms for men and women, but also for women and girls and women from specific groups, and that violations may be perpetrated with the complicity of non-State actors.

The formulation of rights-based claims by women remains an important strategic and political tool for women's empowerment and for addressing human rights violations.

Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 101
- Paragraph text
- A holistic approach demonstrates that programmatic responses to violence against women cannot be considered in isolation from the context of individuals, households, communities or States. In meeting their international legal obligations, States must bear in mind that discrimination affects women in different ways depending on how they are positioned within the social, economic and cultural hierarchies that prohibit or further compromise certain women's ability to enjoy universal human rights. This approach also reveals critical aspects of intra-gender discrimination and inequality, which up until now have been invisible in efforts to treat all women homogenously in the responses to violence.

Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 106

- Violence against women cannot be resolved with a one-size-fits-all programmatic approach. Combating violence against women requires multiple approaches for its elimination. In adopting multiple approaches, preventing and combating violence must become localized, but also take into account differences within community populations. In addition, multiple approaches require adequate human and material resources in order to assess and monitor how policies, laws and institutions impact violence and discrimination, including in the areas of redress and compensation to victims.

The State obligation is reflected in article 2 (d) of the Convention, which requires that States parties, including their national bodies and agents, refrain from engaging in any act or practice of discrimination against women and to ensure that public authorities and institutions act in conformity with this obligation. This obligation includes the duty to ensure that laws, policies, programmes and procedures are not discriminatory against women and that an effective legal framework is in place to address all forms of gender-based violence.

Thus participation, inclusion, the rule of law, and accountability should be core values underpinning the State's response when it acts with due diligence to meet its obligations to eliminate violence against women.
