At a special event hosted by Mr. Abdulla Shahid, President of the General Assembly, on the sidelines of the 66th Commission on the Status of Women, leaders came together to call for concrete actions and responses to end violence against women in politics around the world.

In his opening statement, Mr. Shahid emphasized that “violence against women in politics creates additional, and at times deadly, obstacles to women’s active and meaningful participation in politics. We must do more to eliminate the pervasiveness of this violence.”

Reem Alsalem, UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, identified violence against women in politics as an attempt to silence women as political actors and exclude them from political life.
