Paragraph
Gender-related killings of women 2012, para. 106
- Paragraph text
- The use of inexact categories for the classification of murders, such as the category "others", results in misidentification, concealment and underreporting of femicides-in particular those that do not occur in a family situation. Another common practice is the use of stereotypical and potentially prejudicial categories, including "crime of passion" or "mistress".

- 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
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.
