In 2021, violence against women (VAW) remains a major global issue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on movement prevented many women from escaping the perpetrators of VAW, who are often their partners. In addition, there have been ongoing cases of VAW perpetrated by the very people entrusted with women’s protection, including police officers sexually assaulting and killing young women in the UK and peacekeepers in conflict areas abusing their position of trust as protectors of host communities and representatives of the UN.
This event presents an opportunity to broaden the way VAW is typically viewed by focusing inward on the social, domestic, and institutional levels. In addition to discussing patterns related to VAW, panelists will highlight ways in which civil society has addressed these patterns and how the international community can support civil society efforts as well as promote reform from within its own institutions. Panelists will also provide insight on the role of multilateral institutions in creating agendas and partnerships to prevent VAW at all levels.

Le jeune Moshen Meftah finance ses études en reprenant le travail qui fut celui de son père : il prie et jeûne pour les défunts de familles qui le paient à cet effet. Il nettoie les tombes, les asperge d'eau de rose, s'applique à bien prononcer l'arabe des prières. Il gère son emploi du temps funéraire sur son portable, et se fait payer par virement. Il admire Mahmoud Darwich, et rêve d'aller finir ses études à Beyrouth. Une de ses clientes lui a confié la tâche de s'occuper des rites pour (…)
