Gender-related killings of women 2012, para. 112
- Paragraph text
- Despite progressive jurisprudence from the regional human rights systems, often there is no mechanism to coordinate the implementation of the judgements at the national level, with some authorities stating that the absence of a special implementing law precludes fulfilment. It is argued that in order to facilitate compliance with such rulings, the creation of an international standard for the investigation of femicide, which ensures compliance with the guarantee of non-repetition, is necessary. An Action Protocol, aimed at the judiciary, prosecutors and political bodies, can outline guidelines for the prevention of and investigation into incidents of femicide.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 72
- Paragraph text
- A general comprehensive system of protection and prevention must be established, and that system must be implemented in practice in a reasonable manner, and be generally effective in individual cases. The obligation is one of means and not results, but it requires States to take reasonable measures that have a real prospect of altering the outcome or mitigating the harm. Ultimately, the general system and its application to specific cases should have an adequate deterrent effect to prevent violence against women. While due diligence does not require perfect deterrence in fact in each case, it requires the State to act in a way to reasonably deter violence. Due diligence will look to whether protective measures available in domestic law are appropriate to respond to the situation, and whether they were employed. Ultimately, "it is not the formal existence of judicial remedies that demonstrates due diligence, but rather that they are available and effective".

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.

Violence against women as a barrier to the effective realization of all human rights 2014, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- The challenges of 20 years of soft law developments in the United Nations reflect the existence of resolutions, interpretative guidelines and monitoring by human rights treaty bodies and the universal periodic review. It is clear that the limitation of large and varied monitoring mandates, coupled with time constraints when examining State party reports, does result in an insufficient interrogation concerning the information relating to violence against women, its causes and consequences, and insufficient assessment of responses. Furthermore, the lack of specific legally enforceable standards has a further impact on attempts to ensure appropriate responses as well as accountability for acts of violence against women.

Violence against women: Twenty years of developments to combat violence against women 2014, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- The present report articulates the challenge of 20 years of normativity, without legality, in addressing violence against women, largely through the use of soft law approaches. Despite the existence of interpretative guidelines and monitoring by human rights treaty bodies and the universal periodic review, the limitations of large and varied monitoring mandates, coupled with time constraints when examining State party reports, result in insufficient interrogation concerning the information relating to violence against women, its causes and consequences, and insufficient assessment of responses. Furthermore, the lack of specific legally enforceable standards further impacts attempts to ensure appropriate responses and also accountability for acts of violence against women, which is acknowledged as a widespread and systematic human rights violation.

Closing the gap in international human rights law: lessons from three regional human rights systems on legal standards and practices regarding violence against women 2015, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- Transformative change requires a shift in thinking as regards normativity, and it requires commitment, courage and an ethic of care that supersedes vested interests and entrenched territorial positions. Change requires the challenging of the status quo, including the continued recourse to arguments that were used 20 years ago to avoid addressing the normative gap under international human rights law. Transformative change requires that the words and actions of States reflect an acknowledgement that violence against women is a human rights violation, in and of itself and, more importantly, it requires a commitment by States to be bound by specific legal obligations in the quest to prevent and eliminate such violence.

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. 61
- Paragraph text
- As noted above, the three regional human rights systems have developed legally binding instruments and have set up mechanisms to address women's human rights broadly, and in the case of the European and inter-American systems, specific instruments have been adopted to address the issue of violence against women. These systems have been developed based on regional needs and understandings and on lessons learned from the international system and from each of the regional systems themselves. Unfortunately, the lack of, or minimal, development within other regions of the world on legally binding normative frameworks on women's human rights and violence against women is a source of concern.

Modalities for the establishment of femicides/gender-related killings watch 2016, para. 83b
- Paragraph text
- [The Special Rapporteur recommends the following modalities for the establishment of a national femicide watch and/or observatories on violence against women:] States should systematically collect relevant disaggregated data on all forms of violence against women, in particular on femicide or the gender-related killing of women, which could include the killing of children in this regard. States should disaggregate data on femicide under two broad categories, which could include subcategories in line with their national realities, namely, intimate partner femicide or family-related femicide, based on a relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, and other femicides;

- Paragraph text
- 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.

If the panel is integrated into an existing mechanism, it should be high-profile, for example, as a special unit or project;

Adequacy of the international legal framework on violence against women 2017, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- The submissions received from civil society organizations on the adequacy of the existing legal framework represent a great diversity of responses. These views, together with those of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women and regional mechanisms, have been an extremely enriching contribution to the debate on the adequacy of the legal framework on violence against women. Almost all submissions emphasized the role of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women as a dynamic, living instrument that encompasses violence against women as a form of discrimination against women and the progressive interpretation of the Convention through the adoption of successive general recommendations on violence against women by the Committee, as well as other related subjects, such as the core obligations on States to implement the Convention, access to justice (general recommendation No. 33 (2015) on women’s access to justice) and the rights of women and girls in conflict and post-conflict situations (general recommendation No. 30 (2013) on women in conflict prevention, conflict and post-conflict situations), along with all the other general recommendations. A significant number of submissions pointed out that the lack of a specific global treaty on gender-based violence against women had important symbolic value and further indicated that a new treaty could have an important role in galvanizing implementation at the State level. That symbolic value and potential to act as a catalyst for change was particularly compelling in the broader Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, which were the only ones that did not have a specific regional treaty on violence against women.

Violence against women as a barrier to the effective realization of all human rights 2014, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- In the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, the General Assembly recognized that violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women, which have led to domination over and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full advancement of women, and that violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men (resolution 48/104).

Reparations to women who have been subjected to violence 2010, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- Reparation measures should not concentrate on the fairly limited and traditionally conceived catalogue of violations of civil and political rights, but instead should include the worst forms of crimes or violations targeting women and girls. 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.

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. 63
- Paragraph text
- In previous reports, the Special Rapporteur has expressed her concern about the current practice of "normativity without legality" in the United Nations, as reflected in the endorsement of principles by States, through resolutions and declarations, but without the development and adoption of a dedicated, specific binding legal framework that establishes all forms of violence against women as a specific, grave and widespread human rights violation. The limited and indirect addressing of violence against women as a form of discrimination that falls under the interpretation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women as reflected in general recommendation No. 19 is of persuasive value, but is not legally binding. The present report highlights that the addressing of violence against women as a human rights violation, in and of itself, is reflected only in the three regional legally binding instruments discussed above.

Reparations to women who have been subjected to violence 2010, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- Reparations for women cannot be just about returning them to the situation in which they were found before the individual instance of violence, but instead should strive to have a transformative potential. This implies that reparations should aspire, to the extent possible, to subvert instead of reinforce pre-existing patterns of cross-cutting structural subordination, gender hierarchies, systemic marginalization and structural inequalities that may be at the root cause of the violence that women experience before, during and after the conflict. Complex schemes of reparations, such as those that provide a variety of types of benefits, can better address the needs of female beneficiaries in terms of transformative potential, both on a practical material level and in terms of their self-confidence and esteem. Measures of symbolic recognition can also be crucial. They can simultaneously address both the recognition of victims and the dismantling of patriarchal understandings that give meaning to the violations.

Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 100
- Paragraph text
- This report shows the usefulness of a holistic approach in addressing the interconnections between violence against women, its causes and consequences; and multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination. A holistic approach underscores the interdependence and indivisibility of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights; it situates violence against women on a continuum; it acknowledges the structural aspects and factors of discrimination, which includes structural and institutional inequalities; and it analyzes social and/or economic hierarchies between women and men and also among women.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
