A/HRC/19/31 E/CN.6/2012/12 enable stakeholders to address violence against women, including the Handbook for Legislation on Violence against Women 4 and the Supplement to the Handbook for Legislation on Violence against Women: “Harmful Practices against Women”. 5 III. Joint workplan for 2012 21. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner will continue to cooperate in the promotion of gender equality and the realization of women’s human rights. They will continue to cooperate within the framework of inter-agency mechanisms, including the Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality and the Global Migration Group, among others. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner will continue their work on creating gender-sensitive guidance on reparations for conflict-related sexual violence. The Office of the High Commissioner and UN-Women will also continue working together to follow up on the recommendations of treaty bodies, mandates of special procedures and the universal periodic review as these relate to women’s human rights. 22. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner are also planning to collaborate in the creation of guidance on gender-responsive transitional justice mechanisms, as mandated by the Policy Committee in the context of the seven-point action plan to promote gender-responsive peacebuilding. Both entities will continue to cooperate, with a view to ensuring that United Nations system guidance on country programming advances women’s human rights, for example, through participation in the United Nations Development Group’s Human Rights Mechanism. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner will cooperate and exchange information in support of the work of human rights treaty bodies and enhanced mainstreaming of gender perspectives into their work. UN-Women will, in particular, continue to support the work of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, including in relation to the elaboration of its general recommendation on the protection of women’s human rights in conflict and postconflict situations, among others. UN-Women and its partners will present a briefing to the Committee on the gender-equality dimensions of HIV and AIDS during its fifty-first session. In addition, UN-Women, together with UNDP and UNAIDS, have established a Task Force which will work closely with the Committee in identifying practical measures to be taken to strengthen their relationship, including in terms of follow-up and implementation of the Committee’s concluding observations related to the gender dimensions of HIV and AIDS. 23. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner will participate in the United Nations country teams, joint programmes, theme groups and other forums at the country and regional levels, with a view to promoting equality between women and men and the realization of women’s human rights, and supporting implementation of the major international human rights instruments. UN-Women and the Office of the High Commissioner will continue to engage in a wide range of activities aimed at supporting countries in implementing their obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, including support for reporting provided, for example, to several countries in the South-East Asia region, whose reports are soon to be considered by the Committee. __________________ 4 5 10 United Nations publication, Sales No. E.10.IV.2.
