Handbook on effective prosecution responses to violence against women and girls
Handbook on Effective Prosecution Responses to Violence against Women and Girls United Nations
Prosecutors play a critical role in the criminal justice response to violence against women and girls. Prosecuting gender based violent crime can be challenging due to the private nature of the offence, substandard police investigations, victims may be uncooperative, and Judges or juries may employ gender bias. Drawing upon the updated Model Strategies and Practical Measures on the Elimination of Violence against Women in the Field of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (General Assembly resolution 65/228, annex), The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and UN Women have drafted the Handbook on Effective Prosecution Responses to Violence against Women and Girls. Recognizing that prosecutors work in different legal systems, it is meant to be a helpful resource for individual prosecutors and prosecution services.

Parliaments and parliamentarians have a key role to play in promoting and protecting human rights. This handbook aims to assist parliamentarians and others in efforts to realize the Convention so that persons with disabilities can achieve the transition from exclusion to equality. It seeks to raise awareness of the Convention and its provisions, promote an appreciation of disability concerns, and assist parliaments in understanding the mechanisms and frameworks needed to translate the Convention into practice. By providing examples and insights, it is hoped that this handbook will serve as a useful tool for parliamentarians to promote and protect the rights of persons with disabilities all over the world.
