Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- International standards recognize that "violence against women has specific implications for women's contact with the criminal justice system", and that violence against women may be a cause of women's involvement in criminal offences and subsequent imprisonment. States have a duty to address the structural causes that contribute to women's incarceration and to address root causes and risk factors related to crime and victimization through social, economic, health, educational and justice policies. Member States have been called upon to develop gender-specific sentencing alternatives and to recognize women's histories of victimization when making decisions about incarceration. In addition, States have an obligation under international human rights law to act with due diligence to prevent, respond to, protect against, and provide redress for all forms of gender-based violence.

Violence against women as a barrier to the effective realization of all human rights 2014, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- Although many States have acknowledged violence against women as a widespread and systematic human rights violation and are working on eradicating it, to differing degrees at the national level, the normative gap within international law as regards violence against women is a barrier to holding States accountable for the failure to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights of women. As demonstrated in the present report, violence against women has an impact on all human rights, including civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, thereby acting as a barrier to the exercise of full, inclusive and participatory citizenship.

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.

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.

The Sustainable Development Goal process must not, however, derogate from the obligation of States to respect, protect and fulfil women’s human rights in all fields of life, in accordance with existing international human rights law in customary law and treaty obligations. An independent monitoring mechanism should be integrated into this process;

Continuum of violence against women from the home to the transnational sphere: the challenges of effective redress 2011, para. 80

Efforts to end all forms of violence against women must consider not only how individual lives are affected by the immediate impact of abuse, but how structures of discrimination and inequality perpetuate and exacerbate a victim's experience.

Multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence against women 2011, para. 99
- Paragraph text
- The holistic approach to understanding the relationship between discrimination and violence against women draws upon a well-established foundation of human rights treaties and declarations passed by various bodies of the United Nations during four decades of transnational cooperation. The United Nations treaties and declarations provide the institutional framework within which Governments, non-state actors, and local activists can promote a holistic response to identifying, preventing, and ultimately ending, all forms of violence against women. Efforts to date have been well intentioned but have produced limited success, largely as a result of a silo approach to addressing violence against women.

Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- In some countries, there are emerging practices and ongoing discussions on the need for a paradigm shift from incarceration to community-based sentencing for female offenders. This movement is based on factors such as the sharp increase in the number of women being incarcerated; the overrepresentation of women who have experienced prior violence; the economic and social costs of imprisonment; the detrimental effects of incarceration on women and their families, especially since more women have dependent children than do male prisoners; the impact of overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in prisons; and the rising incidence of self-harm by incarcerated women. There is a growing recognition that most female offenders pose little, if any, risk to society. For those women who are deemed to be a risk to society, the recommendations include the need for smaller, specialist prisons which are easily accessible and where mental and physical health care, remedial and rehabilitative services, appropriate living space and family visiting facilities can be better met.

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.

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.

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. 64
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has participated in numerous meetings and discussions on the subject of the normative gap in international law in respect of violence against women (see A/HRC/29/27/Add.5). The submissions received from organizations and individuals indicate the need for deeper discussions at the United Nations level. The interactive dialogue at the Human Rights Council session in June 2015 provided an opportunity for questions and comments from member States on the issue. Broadly, the opinions expressed include the following: there is sufficient and applicable international law in existence and thus the focus should rather be on developing strategies and action plans for the implementation of laws at the national level; and a new instrument introduces the risk of duplication with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the regional instruments on violence against women. Support was expressed for a new legally binding instrument, without any reservations, and views were expressed that the idea deserved further consideration and discussion by member States. The conclusion of the Special Rapporteur is that despite the broad norms relating to respect for and the protection and fulfilment of human rights, within an equality and non-discrimination framework, member States have accepted the need to adopt 10 specific treaties since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights came into existence. This is a reflection of the understanding and acceptance of the importance of specificity with respect to certain human rights issues. Unfortunately, when the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was drafted, the need for specific provisions on violence against women and girls was not considered. It is time to now consider addressing this normative gap regarding a pervasive and widespread human rights violation. The inter-American and the European conventions on violence against women provide a starting point for a global discussion on the development of an instrument that would have universal applicability.

Adequacy of the international legal framework on violence against women 2017, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur believes that the lack of full incorporation and application of international norms at the domestic level, including the Convention and other instruments, is the main challenge faced in addressing gender-based violence against women. This problem should be more vigorously addressed by the different measures recommended in the present report, among which is the examination of the adequacy of the current legal framework. The Special Rapporteur believes that a global implementation plan on violence against women could be a proper response to address all initiatives and proposals contained in the numerous submissions received.

Each femicide should be carefully examined to identify any failure of protection, with a view to improving and further developing preventive measures. States should also increase their efforts to use all available global and regional women’s human rights instruments and expert mechanisms to put in place effective systems to prevent and end femicide and gender-based violence against women and girls.

The to-be-created working group would analyse the adequacy of the existing international framework on women’s rights and gaps in its incorporation and implementation. It would also be entitled to suggest solutions, including considering, as appropriate, the feasibility of further instruments and implementation measures, with the support of the Secretary-General. The mandate of the Special Rapporteur would play an active role in guaranteeing that an approach based on women’s human rights is provided within its work.

State responsibility for eliminating violence against women 2013, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- There is a need to create a framework for discussing the responsibility of States to act with due diligence, by separating the due diligence standard into two categories: individual due diligence and systemic due diligence. This adaptation challenges previous formulations of due diligence, which merged the obligations that States owe to individual victims of violence with States' obligations to create a functioning system to eliminate violence against women. Individual due diligence refers to the obligations States owe to particular individuals, or groups of individuals, to prevent, protect, punish and provide effective remedies on a specific basis. Individual due diligence requires flexibility, as procedures taken in these instances must reflect the needs and preferences of the individuals harmed. States can fulfil the individual due diligence obligation of protection by providing a woman with services such as telephone hotlines, health care, counselling centres, legal assistance, shelters, restraining orders and financial aid. Education on protection measures and access to effective measures can also help fulfil protection and prevention obligations that an individual is owed by the State. Individual due diligence places an obligation on the State to assist victims in rebuilding their lives and moving forward, and can include monetary compensation, as well as assistance in relocating or in finding a job. Individual due diligence also requires States to punish not just the perpetrators, but also those who fail in their duty to respond to the violation.

In this sense, the elimination of violence against women is based on three pillars: legal protection, public policies and a culture of respect without discrimination.

Reparations to women who have been subjected to violence 2010, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- The limits of ordinary and extraordinary judicial proceedings to achieve the full and comprehensive realization of women's right to reparations are also examined in the report. Against this backdrop, it is argued that gender-responsive administrative reparations schemes can obviate some of the difficulties and costs associated with litigation. The administrative arena also enables a more proactive approach to the involvement of a larger group of people, including victims, at all levels - from conceptualization of reparation schemes, to reaching victims, to understanding the structural component of the violations - including the share of State responsibility by either action or omission, and the gender-specific impact of the violence on women's and girls' lives.

Continuum of violence against women from the home to the transnational sphere: the challenges of effective redress 2011, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- Adopting a holistic model with regards to gender-based violence requires an understanding of the ways in which inter- and intra-gender differences exist and the ways in which institutional and structural inequalities exacerbate violence through multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination. 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 that treat all women homogenously in the responses to violence.
