Statement by Ms. Dubravka Šimonović, Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women at UN CSW 61
Chairperson, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great honor for me to address you today, as Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences, and to continue to contribute to the discussions of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on the priority theme “Women’s economic empowerment in the changing world of work”, and its review theme, “Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development goals for women and girls” and to report on my mandate’s work.
Violence against women is rooted in discrimination and inequalities in all areas of women’s life, including the areas of the CSW priority, review and focus themes. The fight against this pandemic, which targets half of society but affects the whole of it, must be grounded in achieving gender equality and empowerment of women and girls in all these areas.
