Report of UNIFEM on the Elimination of Violence against Women

This annual report to the Commission on the Status of Women documents the activities undertaken by UNIFEM throughout the previous year to eliminate violence against women. It highlights, in particular, activities funded through the Trust Fund in Support of Actions to Eliminate Violence against Women, administered by UNIFEM.

In its resolution 50/166 of 22 December 1995, the UN General Assembly gave UNIFEM the mandate to strengthen its activities to eliminate violence against women in order to accelerate the implementation of the recommendations set out in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. In doing so, UNIFEM works closely with the relevant organizations and bodies of the United Nations system as part of systemwide efforts to eliminate violence against women.
