Targeting of Women in Conflict a Global Issue That Demands Action
FEMICIDE TARGETING OF WOMEN IN CONFLICT A GLOBAL ISSUE THAT DEMANDS ACTION VOLUME III “Conflict-related sexual violence is an issue of pressing importance. This grave human rights abuse is as destructive as any bomb or bullet. It inflicts unimaginable suffering on women and men, girls and boys. It destroys families and communities and tears the social fabric of nations. […] Prevention is our collective responsibility.” Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations The Thailand Institute of Justice’s (TIJ) mission is to promote the culture of justice, the rule of law and human rights in the administration of justice within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) community and beyond. Under its mandate, TIJ undertakes research, capacity building and regional and international cooperation in the areas of crime and justice, and gears towards important cross-cutting issues on the UN agenda such as the rule of law, development, human rights, peace and security. One of TIJ’s primary objectives is to support the implementation of United Nations standards and norms in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. The promotion and protection of human rights of vulnerable groups, especially women and children, in the criminal justice system is one of TIJ’s priorities. The sub-themes under this issue include child justice, women’s corrections and the implementation of the Bangkok Rules, gender justice, particularly violence against women and femicide. With regard to femicide, TIJ has attached great importance to this global issue and organized a number of activities related to this. One of them was a high-level panel discussion entitled ‘Taking Action against the Gender-related Killings of Women and Girls,’ which TIJ co-hosted together with the Permanent Missions of Thailand, Argentina and Austria and the Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS) in New York on 18 October 2013. -

Collecting Data on Femicide ISBN: 978-3-200-03012-1
“Gender-motivated killings of women occur everywhere, in every country and culture of the world. It is an issue of universal human rights and inherent human dignity that concerns us all, involves us all, and requires concerted and urgent action from all of us. […] And one thing is certain: Preventing all forms of violence against women requires the engagement of FEMICIDE all segments of society, and especially men and boys as partners in gender equality and respectful relationships.“ Volume XIII MICHELLE BACHELET ON “GENDER-MOTIVATED KILLINGS OF WOMEN, INCLUDING FEMICIDE”: SPEECH BY MICHELLE BACHELET, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF UN WOMEN ON “GENDER-MOTIVATED KILLINGS OF WOMEN, INCLUDING FEMICIDE” AT A CSW57 SIDE EVENT ON 8 MARCH, 2013 “Alongside the constant fact of men killing women, societal norms, struc- tures and attitudes serve to minimize, normalize and indeed naturalize male violence against women and women’s subordinate social status.” FILIA, ANNUAL REPORT ON UK FEMICIDES FOR 2018 “Achieving gender equality is about disrupting the status quo – not negotiating it.” PHUMZILE MLAMBO-NGCUKA, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UN WOMEN, 2019 Collecting Data on Femicide ISBN: 978-3-200-03012-1 ©November 2020 United Nations Studies Association (UNSA) Vienna Copyright: All rights reserved.

Communication design as an agent in creating gender equality in India Nicola St John, Swinburne University of Technology Abstract Developing from the field of behavior change through design, this study investigated if communication design is an effective tool in changing cultural behaviors and perceptions of gender in India. Previous studies on gender violence campaigns (Gadornski, 2001; Murphy, 2009; Kostick et al., 2011) suggest utilising men and traditional gender stereotypes are effective in creating behavior change. Yet there exists a gap on specific cultural roles and changing ingrained behaviors. This study focuses on the necessary recognition of cultural traditions and behaviours that must precede any design activity within an epistemological setting. -

Carr: The SlutWalk Movement The SlutWalk Movement: A Study in Transnational Feminist Activism Joetta L. Carr, Western Michigan University Abstract: In the past two years the term “slut” ricocheted through the North American media and showed up on signs and banners on every continent as young feminists and their allies launched a series of demonstrations under the name of SlutWalks. In January 2011, a Toronto police officer told students at York University that if women wanted to avoid rape they should not dress like sluts. This incident sparked international outrage, with protests spreading quickly throughout the world, and revealed the misogyny and victim-blaming vitriol that characterize contemporary patriarchal culture. In the wake of the global SlutWalk movement, important questions have emerged about “reclaiming” the word “slut,” whether this form of protest effectively challenges rape cultures, whether it promotes sexual agency while deploring slut-shaming, and whether it reflects the aspirations of women of color who face different historical and cultural realities without the cushion of white privilege. -
