In-depth study on all forms of violence against women: Report of the Secretary General

Walby, S. (2006). In-depth study on all forms of violence against women: Report of the Secretary General. United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women.

Abstract

Violence against women persists in every country in the world as a pervasive violation of human rights and a major impediment to achieving gender equality. Such violence is unacceptable, whether perpetrated by the State and its agents or by family members or strangers, in the public or private sphere, in peacetime or in times of conflict. The Secretary-General has stated that as long as violence against women continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace.
