Párrafo
Paragraph text
An intersectional and claimant-centred approach is important to protect the rights of women belonging to religious minorities. Women should not be externally compelled, in seeking remedies for violations, to choose from among their religion, their community and their rights. The authorities should seek to respond to the situation in a manner that upholds women's agency, utilizes dispute resolution procedures where appropriate, and is sensitive to intersectional belonging in the way that those women freely define it. The fourth session of the Forum on Minority Issues, which was held in November 2011, was dedicated to the theme "guaranteeing the rights of minority women and girls" and produced concrete recommendations to protect the rights of minority women and girls.
