A/HRC/32/42 every 10,000 inhabitants, providing safe emergency accommodation, qualified counselling and assistance in finding long-term accommodation.11 56. Shelters have an important role in removing one of the greatest barriers preventing women from leaving abusive situations and avoiding re-victimization and risks of new assaults. Various economic factors can contribute to women’s vulnerability to violence and prevent them from seeking help.12 Rehabilitation programmes for women survivors of violence should promote their physical, emotional and economic assistance, in particular by allowing them to secure immediate financial support, and promote opportunities to achieve and sustain income, to enable them to rebuild their lives. 13 57. The mandate holder has visited a number of shelters and made recommendations on their availability in specific countries to ensure that women can have access to them (see E/CN.4/2006/61/Add.5 and A/HRC/4/34/Add.2 and Add.4). Women’s shelters should offer specialized services for women, providing safe accommodation and support for women who have been subjected to violence and their children. In addition to these services, other prevention and protection measures should be available, including efficient and immediate protection and barring orders for survivors, witnesses and their families.14 The Special Rapporteur intends to work on a compilation of good practices that could guide the establishment of shelters and support for women and children, and a compilation of good practices on protection orders. C. Code of conduct for security and police forces dealing with violence against women 58. At the Special General Assembly of the Kigali International Conference Declaration, on the role of security organs in ending violence against women and girls (see para. 19 above), 12 Member States signed the Declaration following the high-level international conference on the same topic, which was held in Kigali in 2010. Since then, 43 States have taken part in activities to implement the Declaration, which includes a commitment “to recruit and promote more women officers at all echelons of the security organs”. 59.
