The present report by the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls examines the new and evolving forms of violence experienced by women and girls based on their sex, which remain insufficiently explored and recognized. It provides an overview of the States’ international obligations to ensure that women and girls are not subjected to discrimination and violence based on their sex. It also recommends the proper and effective consideration of sex in understanding the experiences of discrimination of women and girls, preventing further violence, and responding to the needs of survivors.
