A/HRC/40/60 110. The Special Rapporteur recommends that national human rights institutions, civil society, human rights defenders of all genders, donors and other stakeholders: (a) Document, monitor and denounce the threats and attacks faced by women defenders, highlighting whether perpetrators were brought to justice; (b) Respond to women defenders’ concerns about sexism, discrimination and marginalization within communities and human rights movements, including by taking measures to prevent those phenomena; (c) Develop and support specific programmes of work on the security and protection of women defenders, recognizing their diversity; (d) Develop a deeper understanding of how protection practices can be gender-sensitive, by viewing them through the lens of intersectionality; (e) Assess protection practices led by multiple stakeholders for women defenders against the seven principles underpinning good protection practices and examine ways of strengthening these practices. 20
