Gender perspectives on torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment
or punishment 2016, para. 66
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Reparations must be premised on a full understanding of the gendered nature and consequences of the harm suffered and take existing gender inequalities into account to ensure that they are not themselves discriminatory (see A/HRC/14/22, para. 32). They must address the context of structural discrimination in which violations occurred and aim to provide both restitution and rectification. Reparations must have a transformative impact, addressing the underlying causes and consequences of violations, and offer continued protection for and respectful engagement with victims (A/HRC/14/22). As stipulated in the Nairobi Declaration on Women's and Girls' Right to a Remedy and Reparation, victims must be empowered to help determine what forms of reparation are best suited to their situation.
