Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 86
- Paragraph text
- In addition, the Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur on the right to education dedicated his 2007 thematic report to the issue of the right of persons with disabilities to inclusive education (A/HRC/4/29, paras. 8 and 76). He found that literacy rates for women and girls with disabilities were significantly lower than for men and boys, and that women and girls were generally subjected to more discrimination. Similarly, in his 2005 thematic report, the Special Rapporteur on the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, focused on the right to health of persons with mental disabilities (E/CN.4/2005/51, paras. 12 and 49) and found that women with intellectual disabilities were especially vulnerable to forced sterilization and sexual violence. He advocated for measures to protect them from violence and other right to health-related abuses, whether occurring in private health-care or support services. Finally, the Special Rapporteur to monitor the implementation of the Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities reports annually to the Commission for Social Development and has mainstreamed the issue of women and disabilities in his reports (see E/CN.5/2011/9).

Vision-setting report 2016, para. 30
- Paragraph text
- In 2003, the Committee, pursuant to article 8 of the Optional Protocol to the Convention, undertook an inquiry into the abduction, rape and murder of women in and around Ciudad Juarez, State of Chihuahua, Mexico, and recommended that the Government investigate thoroughly and punish the negligence and complicity of public authorities in, the disappearances and murders of women. In 2012, the Committee conducted an inquiry with regard to the Philippines on the implementation of an order issued by the Mayor of the City of Manila on 29 February 2000, on the provision of sexual and reproductive health rights, services and commodities in the City of Manila. The Committee recommended that the State party ensure the immediate implementation of the Reproductive Health Act (adopted on 21 December 2012) and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, including provisions that guaranteed universal access to the full range of reproductive health services and information for women (CEDAW/C/OP.8/PHL/1, para. 51 (b)). In 2013, the Committee conducted an inquiry on Canada, based on allegations of severe of violence, including disappearances and murder, suffered by aboriginal women and girls. The Committee recommended that the State ensure that all cases of missing and murdered women were duly investigated and prosecuted (CEDAW/C/OP.8/CAN/1, para. 217 (a)). These examples show how jurisprudence can be an important tool for transformative change.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- Considering the numerous documents generated through expert group consultations and access to technical cooperation, especially from United Nations and other international agencies on the issue of violence against women, it is a source of concern that there is no information on the usage and/or the value added by the generation of such standard-setting and educative interventions, materials and training.

Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 71
- Paragraph text
- For women incarcerated for drug crimes, the lack of rehabilitative care often means that the conditions that rendered them vulnerable to drug involvement in the first place are sometimes replicated and augmented in prison, and after release. One Canadian study found that women offenders who were released and who did not participate in a drug treatment programme were 10 times more likely to return to prison within one year than the prisoners who did participate.

- Paragraph text
- The effect of imprisonment on the physical health of women is often a direct result of the poor conditions that they face, including overcrowding, poor sanitary facilities, lack of physical and mental activities and lack of appropriate health care. One of the primary barriers to addressing various health problems is the inability to access health-care services upon their re-entry into society, either through denial of access or inability to afford health-care insurance.

- Abortion may not be available to women in immigration detention centres, depending on the laws of the country. In Malta, for example, abortion is illegal under domestic laws, and is thus unavailable to women held in detention centres. This in turn can lead to complications during childbirth, as doctors may not be trained in or well equipped to handle births for women who have undergone female genital cutting, for example.

- Prisons are ordinarily modelled on men's needs, with little or no attention paid to gender-specific issues such as menses, menopause, gynaecological facilities, adequate nutrition for pregnant women, and other basic sexual and reproductive health needs. In Zimbabwe, women activists and human rights defenders are reported to be systematically denied access to medical care, including when pregnant.

It can result in starvation and malnourishment, including for pregnant or nursing women; it can become a commodity traded for sex; denial of food can be used as a form of punishment; because of limited quantities, it can lead to fights; and the poor quality and nutritional value may endanger the health of inmates, including impacting the ability of mothers to breastfeed babies.

- Many female prisoners continue their existing drug and alcohol addictions, or develop such addictions, during incarceration, due to the availability of illicit drugs in prison. Many prisons do not provide adequate substance abuse treatment programmes, or do not tailor programmes specifically for women. In the Russian Federation, it is argued that there is widespread discrimination against women as regards the accessibility of substance abuse programmes.

- Mental health problems can be both the cause and the result of imprisonment. Inadequate health-care services, overcrowding and a lack of safety from abuse can exacerbate these problems. Women generally experience more psychological distress than men over their lifetimes, including anxiety, depression and guilt. Also, they have higher rates of substance abuse, personality disorders and histories of abuse than incarcerated men, and a higher rate of self-harm and attempted suicide.

- Many prisons do not offer adequate mental or physical health care to women inmates and may actually provide less health care to female prisoners than to male prisoners. The consequence of a failure to consider women's specific health needs means ignoring reproductive health needs and medical conditions stemming from a history of poverty, malnutrition, physical or sexual abuse, drug use, or inadequate medical care.

- Female prisoners in many countries are subjected to invasive and degrading searches. Some searches require women to undress and lift their breasts or bend over at the waist and spread their cheeks. Female prisoners are also subject to vaginal searches and in some countries, male guards search female prisoners. In many countries subjecting women prisoners to strip searches is more or less routine (A/HRC/17/26/Add.5 and Corr.1).

Studies have found high rates of women being imprisoned for drug-related offences: almost 50 per cent in Estonia, Portugal and Spain; almost 70 per cent in Tajikistan; almost 68 per cent in Latvia; almost 40 per cent in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan and 37 per cent in Italy.

Gender-related killings of women 2012, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- A 2004 national study on femicide in South Africa estimated that a woman is killed by her intimate partner every six hours. Of the cases in which relationship status could be established, 50.3 per cent of the women were killed by an intimate partner. Furthermore, a racial analysis indicates that women of colour are disproportionately affected by such killings. The rate for coloured women was 18.3 per 100,000 women; for African women it was 8.8, and for white women, 2.8.

- Parallel to this conceptual discourse, Mexican feminists decided to translate the term femicide directly from its Latin origins as "feminicidio". The femicide versus feminicide debate that has taken place in the Latin American context has not been resolved as yet. In the interim, feminists and academics have simply moved past the issue and adopted either or both terms, depending on the country, the context, the campaign or the lobbying target.

Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- Women with disabilities have more limitations on access to sexual and reproductive health care. Often health-care providers see them as asexual, thereby concluding that they do not require certain health-care services. An analysis of the data contained in the World Health Organization World Health Survey shows a significant difference between men and women with disabilities and people without disabilities in terms of the attitudinal, physical, and system level barriers faced in accessing care.

- Armed conflict generates injuries and trauma that can result in disabilities and can also increase the severity of existing disabilities. For women incurring injuries, the situation is often exacerbated by delays in obtaining health care and longer-term rehabilitation. According to the 2011, World Report on Disability, humanitarian organizations in conflict situations do not always respond promptly and effectively, and the needs of families and caretakers are not always taken into account.

- Starvation in a world in which food is plentiful is a form of violence inflicted on the body - both physically and mentally. Many studies recognize the discrimination inherent in starvation, which affects the world's women and girls at a disproportionately higher level than men and boys. The human right to food still faces important challenges, as starvation continues to exist throughout the world.

For example, women from particular racial and ethnic groups, those with disabilities and poor women, have been the target of forced sterilization and other coercive birth control measures.

Continuum of violence against women from the home to the transnational sphere: the challenges of effective redress 2011, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- The lack of sufficient specialized shelters for women and girls victims of violence contributes to their invisibility and silencing. Even when government-run shelters are available, the Special Rapporteur has noted in most of her country missions the crucial role played by non-governmental organizations in managing shelter facilities and offering psychological, medical and legal assistance to women victims of violence. Whether privately funded or receiving governmental grants, these centres are usually insufficient in number, lack human and material resources, and are commonly concentrated in areas that are not accessible to all women. While commending the work of civil society organizations, the Special Rapporteur has noted that the due diligence obligation to protect women from violence rests primarily upon the State and its agents. It is therefore the responsibility of States to ensure accessibility and availability of effective protection and support services to victims of domestic violence. Further, the Special Rapporteur has raised concern at the lack of policy guidelines across health, psychosocial and legal sectors ensuring coordinated, prompt and supportive services to victims.

Violence against women as a barrier to the effective realization of all human rights 2014, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- Millennium Development Goal 6 commits Governments to combating HIV/AIDS, but exposure to HIV is positively correlated with gender-based violence and poverty. For example in Sub-Saharan Africa, women in the 19-24 age group are twice as likely to be infected as men, owing to sexual violence and related inequality in decision-making and autonomy. Rates of girls being infected have also increased owing to sexual assaults related to myths about preventing the transmission of HIV or curing AIDS.

- International law affords every individual the right to privacy without arbitrary or unlawful interference. Women all too frequently experience violent intrusions of privacy, including through virginity testing and forced sterilization. These forms of violence against women represent grave violations of the right to privacy and reproductive freedom, as well as women's bodily integrity, and it undermines the ability of women to be recognized as full and equal citizens of their communities.

- Prison authorities and staff do not foster a supportive environment for women prisoners' timely access to medical services, failing to attend to complaints of ill health with urgency and sometimes disregarding prisoners' ailments altogether. For example in the United States, patients with chronic health concerns complain of long delays before seeing a doctor (A/HRC/17/26/Add.5 and Corr.1). Female detainees in Zambia receive little medical attention for pre- and postnatal treatment and care (A/HRC/17/26/Add.4).
