Global trends in risks and threats facing human rights defenders 2015, para. 63
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- In addition, women defenders complained of gaps in the responses of the various mechanisms and organizations that do not take men-women issues sufficiently into account (for instance, in resettlement programmes, from which families are often excluded). Women defenders likewise mentioned the need for them to be included from the outset in the preparation of programmes to protect them, in order to get away from a sometime paternalistic approach that plays down the challenges they face.

Good practices in the protection of human rights defenders 2016, para. 70
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- In some countries, civil society organizations have established monitoring programmes that document and verify information on attacks against defenders, identifying patterns of violations and abuses. They maintain databases on defenders, monitoring the risks that they face. They make visible the situation of defenders at risk in particular contexts, pressuring States to be accountable for their protection. Gender analysis should be integrated into human rights monitoring programmes, in particular, from the perspective of intersectionality. This would ensure that the specific experiences of women and transgender persons are, along with those of men, understood and incorporated into the design of protection measures.

Workplan and Future Activities of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 56
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur has noted with great interest that, over the past few years, human rights defenders have been active in ensuring that the protection promised by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is extended to new threats to human dignity. As a result of their work to combat gender-related violence against women, they argue that rights should be protected also within the household and the community. They contend that multinational corporations should be held morally and legally liable for their actions and omissions that deprive men and women of their fundamental rights. They are working to ensure that universal access to primary education and antiretroviral treatment becomes a fundamental right and is not treated as a service that is dependent on charitable action or an aspect of economic development.

Vision and Working Methods of the Mandate 2014, para. 49
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- For several years, human rights defenders have been mobilizing for the protection promised by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be extended to the new threats hanging over human dignity. In this context they have been advocating for the protection of rights also to be guaranteed in the home or community setting, on the basis of their efforts to combat violence against women. They have been campaigning for multinational companies to be morally and legally responsible for any of their actions or omissions that deprive men and women of their fundamental rights. They have been mobilizing for universal access to primary education and to antiretroviral drugs to become fundamental rights rather than being considered as services dependent on charity or level of economic development.

Paragraph
Large-scale development project and human rights defenders 2013, para. 40
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- Those responsible for large-scale development projects should pay particular attention to multiple grounds of discrimination, as the intersection of such grounds could lead to different and even more adverse effects among those affected by the projects (see general comment No. 20, on article 2 (2) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights). For example, women in a rural community are likely to experience the effects of such projects differently from men, and their economic and social status could aggravate this situation. Those defending women's rights face particular challenges and additional risks linked to the work that they do and the issues they face are challenging, which is why it is important that they be able to do their work without incurring retaliation of any sort.

- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- Over half of the communications sent (31) were addressed to Governments in Asia, among which 14 were sent to the Islamic Republic of Iran, five were sent to China, and three to the Philippines. Nineteen of the cases concerned men as victims, while five reported women as victims and five related to victims of both sexes. The sex of the victim(s) was not reported in two cases. Allegations of violations against youth and students in Asia were for the most part related to physical integrity, which was mentioned in 26 cases. Alleged violations included killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, physical attacks and forced labour. Eight cases were judicial in nature, including criminalization of the activities of human rights defenders, arrests, prison sentences and concerns about due process, including under anti-terrorism legislation.

On the Declaration on human rights defenders 2011, para. 43
- Document type
- Special Procedures' report
- Paragraph text
- The right to freedom of opinion and expression is of crucial importance to the work of human rights defenders. Without this right defenders would not be able to perform their monitoring and advocacy work to promote and protect human rights. This right applies to both men and women promoting and protecting human rights, providing they accept and apply the principles of universality and non violence. In the case of women human rights defenders, States need to ensure that tradition, history, culture and religious attitudes are not used to justify violations of women's right to equality before the law and to the equal enjoyment of all rights.
