Origin

2019 - Third part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 11.6, delete the following word:

"women".

Explanatory note

Whereas women make up the largest part of victims of gender-based violence, support also needs to be inclusive of all victims of gender-based violence. The deletion of the word "women" allows for the paragraph to also include all other victims of gender-based violence and encourages that support be provided inclusive of all of these victims.
