Due Diligence Project - State Accountability for
Eliminating Violence Against Women
The
Due Diligence Project is research-advocacy project. The principle aim of the
Project is to add content to the international legal principle of ‘due
diligence’ in the context of State responsibility to end violence against
women. The objective is to create and accountability framework based on the due
diligence principle, namely the Due Diligence Framework
together with compliance guidelines that are concrete
and measurable across regions.
The Project sets out to do this by answering the following four questions: (1) What is generally understood to be the content of the due diligence principle - by governments, civil society advocates, and international legal scholars and experts working on violence against women? (2) How can compliance with this obligation be monitored, assessed and evaluated – by governments, civil society advocates and international legal scholars and experts working on violence against women? (3) How are States complying with their due diligence obligation to prevent, protect against, prosecute, punish and provide redress for acts of violence against women? (4) What are good practices to eliminate violence against women, globally and regionally?
