The Global Implementation Plan to End Violence Against Women and Girls was a recommendation from the multi-agency Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on the prevention of violence against women and girls. The meeting was convened as part of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women's multi-year programme of work for 2010-2014. The "Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls" forms a priority theme for its fifty-seventh session in 2013 (CSW57).
Background
The EGM took place in Bangkok, Thailand 17 - 20 September 2012 and was organised by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), in collaboration with the following organisations:
- United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP);
- United Nations Development Programme (UNDP);
- United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA);
- United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and;
- World Health Organization (WHO). [1]
The report that the meeting produced reflected the shared discussion and analysis of the major issues, gaps and challenges identified at the EGM and presented key findings and recommendations. It was intended to build on the individual papers on specific issues provided by experts prior to the meeting, and the background paper prepared by the rapporteur.[2] It provided inputs for the reports of the Secretary-General to the CSW and was widely disseminated in preparation to the fifty-seventh session of CSW.
Recommendation 109 of the EGM calls for a global advocacy campaign for prevention of violence against women and girls as follows:
The Global Implementation Plan to End Violence against Women and Girls, endorsed and supported by Member States at its launch, would aim to:
- Intensify and scale-up global awareness of violence against women and girls as a global emergency.
- Combine the best thinking on how to proceed with concrete pledges for action.
- Mobilise international, regional and national action by governments, multilaterals, the private sector and civil society.
- Build the foundation for an evidence and practice-informed global prevention strategy.
- Increase resources available to end violence against women and girls.
Further recommendations then outlined in detail what the global implementation plan ought to consist of.
