Violence against women: Twenty years of developments to combat violence against women 2014, para. 53
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The first Special Rapporteur recommended that States criminalize and prosecute all manifestations of violence against women, including violence perpetrated under the guise of cultural practices, and called for greater State responsibility for the protection of trafficked women and the prevention of forced or coerced migration. She also called for a more expansive approach that sees violence against women as a "health, legal, economic, developmental and human rights problem", examined the issue of legal protections and remedies for violence against women perpetrated in situations of armed conflict; and called for the inclusion of gendered provisions and processes in the International Criminal Court. In her final report, in January 2003, the first Special Rapporteur stated that the greatest achievements during her mandate had been in "awareness-raising and standard-setting", including with regard to the limitations of the criminal justice framework, and setting new standards for addressing violence as a product of social, political and economic inequality. However, she acknowledged that, despite these successes, very little had changed in the lives of most women during her tenure.
