Shadow Reports

During the Multi-lateral Evaluation Round, the Committee of Experts prepares and circulates a questionnaire on the measures adopted by States Party to address violence against women. The States Party complete these questionnaires, which then serve as the bases for the national reports.

• Questionnaire from the First Multilateral Evaluation Round (2004-2008)
• Questionnaire from the Second Multilateral Evaluation Round (2009-2013)

At the same time, this questionnaire is circulated to the network of civil society organizations that participate in the MESECVI, so that they can also prepare complementary, or “shadow” reports on the implementation of the Convention in their respective countries. These complementary inputs from civil society are taken into account by the Committee of Experts in their preparation of the national reports.
