Women from the Viewpoint of Religion and Traditions

French English Russian

"Discrimination and intolerance against women, supposedly prescribed by religion or tradition, must be resolutely condemned. To that end, the Special Rapporteur reiterates his recommendation that a seminar should be held on the status of women from the standpoint of religion, traditions and human rights, so as not only to identify manifestations of discrimination and intolerance, and also to formulate practical recommendations and a plan of action for eradicating such practices."

Mr. Abdelfattah Amor, Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, Author of the UN Study on the Status of Women, Freedom of Religion or Belief, and Traditions.
