United Nations Special Rapporteur Calls for Input on Violence Against Women
The United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women (SRVAW) launched a call for submissions on violence against women in politics, ahead of a special report on the topic to be released in October 2018 to the UN General Assembly. IFES participated in the SRVAW’s Expert Group Meeting on Violence Against Women in Politics in March 2018 and is honored that the IFES white paper Breaking the Mold: Understanding Gender and Electoral Violence is cited in the justifications for the SRVAW’s call, among the earliest research to recognize this problem.
