Monitoring of cases of violations of the rights of women and girls will be carried out in Kyrgyzstan. UNDP reports.
According to the organization, experts on gender violence concluded a two-day workshop, where representatives of 20 non-governmental organizations from across the country examined tools for monitoring of legislation on the eradication of violence against women and girls.
They also tested tools to analyze the violations of law by police, medical and social workers, prosecutors and judges responsible for prevention and response of gender based violence.
«Monitoring violations of women’s rights and legislation is very important as it allows to bring to the attention of authorities the gaps in the mechanisms of implementation of newly adopted laws and jointly address these gaps to achieve the rule of law and effective protection of the rights of women and girls in Kyrgyzstan. Due to gaps in legislation and corrupt mechanisms within law enforcement and the judiciary, dozens of court cases remain unresolved and continue year after year,» Kamil Ruziyev, a human rights activist, said.
