Inter-American Model Law on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women in Political Life
Overview
Within the context of its work, the MESECVI has recognized the progress of States in the prevention and punishment of violence against women in the private sphere, however, it has also repeatedly emphasized that “these actions do not cover all manifestations of violence against women, especially those produced in the public sphere,” and has affirmed the need to make progress in legislation that puishes violence against women perpetrated in the public sphere. This Model Law is a contribution to closing this gap, in response to the growing concern of the Mechanism over violence against women perpetrated in political spaces. |
