Other Acts P6_TA-PROV (2013)0045 (06/02/2013)

Type: Acts of the European Union: European Parliament Resolution on the 57th session on UN CSW: Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls

Authority: European Authorities - European Union: European Parliament

Date: 02/06/2013

Subject: The European Parliament underlined that among the key priorities for addressing violence against women and girls should be the elimination of discriminatory socio-cultural attitudes that reinforce women's subordinate place in society and result in the toleration of violence against women and girls in both private and public spheres, in the home and in workplaces and educational institutions; in this context, it hoped there will be accelerated progress in the development of international legal norms, standards and policies that will improve services and protection for victims, raise awareness in order to change behaviour and attitudes, and, above all, ensure sufficient and consistent implementation in all parts of the world; it called on furthermore the EU to support the launching of a Global Advocacy Campaign for the prevention of violence against women and girls and gender-based violence, in order to take further steps to make our communities and countries safe and fully respect the human rights of women and girls worldwide; believes this campaign should build on existing partnerships between states and other relevant actors, including civil society and women's organizations.
