Participation of women in protests reflects desire for change, says UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women
Sunday, 11th December, 2011
The active participation of women in public protests witnessed in many parts of the world recently reflect their strong desire to promote social change, including a yearning for the rule of law and human rights, the United Nations independent expert on violence against women said today.
"Moments of political transition provide a unique opportunity to ensure that women participate equally in public life and that their rights in legal and social systems, including the elimination of all forms of discrimination and violence in law and in practice are addressed," said Rashida Manjoo, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences.
