Focuses on Integration of a Gender
Perspective throughout its Work and that of its Mechanisms and the Evaluation of
Progress Made and Challenges Experienced
The Human Rights
Council this afternoon held its annual discussion on the integration
of a gender perspective in the work of the Council, with a focus on its work
and that of its mechanisms, and the evaluation of progress made and challenges
experienced.
Jane Connors, Director of the Research and Right to
Development Division of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights,
said in opening remarks that although the Human Rights Council had repeatedly
demonstrated its commitment to include a gender perspective in its activities
and mechanisms, its record on integrating gender into its country-specific work
was uneven. All country-specific resolutions should include more consistent and
specific attention to gender issues and women’s rights.
Christine
Chinkin, Professor of international human rights law, London School of
Economics, former member of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza
Conflict and Panel Moderator, said that gender was not synonymous with women or
sexual violence. Gender analysis should be part of the core work of the Council
throughout all country-specific procedures, and where appropriate, through
trainings by gender advisors.
The panellists were: Moez Doraid, Director
of the Coordination Division of UN Women, Gloria Maira Vargas, Vice-Minister,
National Chilean Service for Women, Ahmed Shaheed, Special Rapporteur on the
situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Bineta Diop,
Founder and President of Femmes Afrique Solidarité and African Union Special
Envoy for Women, Peace and Security.
Moez Doraid, Director of the
Coordination Division of UN Women, said that it was imperative that a gender
perspective was integrated into the work of the Human Rights Council in general,
and to its country-specific work in particular. UN Women could support country
visits by Special Procedures and provide information on the country and
specifically the situation of women and girls.
Gloria Maira Vargas,
Vice-Minister, National Chilean Service for Women, said that the work of the
Special Procedures would be enhanced through the explicit inclusion of sexual
violence in the formulation of resolutions. Special attention should be attached
to the violations that women and girls suffered, including in situations of
natural disasters and armed conflict. The Council should strengthen its work by
integrating the resolutions of other United Nations bodies, including the
Security Council. Continue a ler.
Pensei para comigo, aqui está uma boa prática que, numa perspectiva de benchmarking, poderia ser referência para todas as organizações: uma reunião anual para se discutir a integração da perspectiva de género no trabalho global da organização e no de cada um/uma que nela participam.
