Belém do Pará Debate Reaches Canada Over Violence Against Women
Original: Belém do Pará Comes to Canada: Lessons from Mexico on State Responsibility for Violence Against Women
Canadian discussions are turning to the Belém do Pará Convention, the Inter-American treaty obliging states to prevent and punish violence against women. Commentators are drawing lessons from Mexico, where courts and advocates have used the convention to hold the state accountable for failing to protect women from gender-based violence, and asking what a similar approach would mean for Canada's obligations and record.
Why now: Advocates are pushing for Canada to take seriously its responsibilities under the Inter-American human rights system on gender-based violence.
