Statement by Ms. Rachel Mayanja, Assistant
Secretary-General, Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women,
at the launching of the Secretary-General’s in-depth study on all forms of
violence against women - New York, 9 October 2006
On 22 December 2003, the General Assembly requested the
Secretary-General to prepare an in-depth study on all forms and manifestations
of violence against women (A/RES/58/185).
In 2005, the Secretary-General submitted an interim report that summarized the
mandate, goals and objectives of the study, as well as the status of
preparations. The General Assembly (A/RES/60/136)
welcomed the work already undertaken and called for enhanced awareness raising
and involvement of all stakeholders in the preparatory process.
Following the adoption of resolution A/RES/58/185
by the General Assembly, two expert group meetings were convened to provide
input for the study. An expert
group meeting on data and statistics on violence against women, convened in
collaboration with the Economic Commission for Europe and the World Health
Organization, was held in Geneva from 11-14 April 2005. Another expert group
meeting on good practices in addressing violence against women, convened in
collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, was held in
Vienna from 17-20 May 2005.
A Task Force, comprising 36 representatives of United Nations entities, and non-governmental organizations and regional networks, provided input and feedback on various aspects of the study (see membership of the Task Force).
An Advisory
Committee consisting of ten internationally recognized experts in the field
of combating violence against women provided guidance and advice at critical
junctures in the preparation of the study.
Many sources of information fed into the study, including reports and information from Governments, and from United Nations bodies, and entities and non-governmental organizations.
