HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE

Ninety-fourth session

Geneva, 13-31 October 2008

 

 

CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY STATES PARTIES
UNDER ARTICLE 40 OF THE COVENANT

Concluding observations of the Human Rights Committee

DENMARK

 

_________________________________________________________

C.        Principal subjects of concern and recommendations

1.                   The Committee notes with concern that, despite the various measures adopted by the State party to promote gender equality and increase the representation of women in publicly-elected bodies, women continue to be under-represented in political decision-making positions, especially at the local level. The Committee is also concerned about the low representation of women in high-level and managerial positions and on boards of private enterprises. (Articles 2, 3, 25 and 26)

The State party should strengthen its efforts to increase the participation of women in political decision-making positions, especially at the local level, inter alia through awareness raising campaigns and, where feasible, the adoption of temporary special measures. The State party should also seek ways to further support the participation of women in high-level and managerial positions and on boards of private enterprises through enhanced co-operation and dialogue with partners in the private sector.

 

2.                   The Committee remains concerned about the persistence of violence against women, including domestic violence, in spite of the efforts made by the State party to eliminate this phenomenon. (Articles 3, 7 and 26)

The State party should continue its efforts towards the elimination of violence against women, including domestic violence, inter alia through information campaigns on the criminal nature of this phenomenon and the allocation of sufficient financial resources to prevent such violence and provide protection and material support to victims.
