WIRI Key messages on rights
Humanitarians, development workers, the international and regional human rights system, and the
interventions of our peace and security actors must address the full range of violations of the
rights of women and girls protected by international, refugee and human rights law, including, but
not limited to, their right to life and physical integrity.
Women’s rights to education, to health, to land and productive assets, and rights of participation,
decision-making and leadership in village or community matters are strongly linked to women’s
security.
Increased attention has been paid to violence against women and girls, particularly sexual
violence, resulting in greater visibility, high-level advocacy, and the development of technical
tools. However, too little funding is allocated to programming and services for survivors.
