training for existing staff. Basic training is necessary for all, with specialists requiring more
depth. Creating a core curriculum and ensuring it is delivered offers the strongest potential for
change. Simply counting the number of people trained is no indicator; rather, measurement needs
to be of the percentages of new and existing recruits receiving basic and more in-depth training
on all and specific forms of violence against women.
111. Proposed indicators:
• Increasing the capacity of professionals to respond appropriately to violence against
women
1.
Proportion of new recruits to police, social work, psychology, health (doctors,
nurses and others), education (teachers) completing the core curriculum on all
forms of violence against women
2.
Development and delivery of a core curriculum, adapted by profession, on all
forms of violence against women across police, law, social work, psychology,
health, education
3.
Proportion of existing police, judges, prosecutors, doctors and nurses, teachers
who have had training (minimum of three days) on all forms of violence against
women
4.
Proportion of existing police, judges, prosecutors, doctors and nurses, teachers
who have had training (minimum of two days) on some forms of violence against
women
5.
Number of professionals provided with training of at least 2 days on any form of
violence against women in past 12 months.
3. Tracking promising practices
112. A number of promising practices are highlighted in the Secretary-General’s study and in
many other publications. There is, as yet, too limited an evidence base to make these
international indicators, but they should be measured at the national level, with potential feed
through to the next layer of international indicators. At a minimum, States should track the
following and present data where these have an impact in upholding and realizing human rights.
113. Protection measures, especially the use of civil law protection orders with respect to
intimate partner violence, stalking and the protection of girls from sexual abuse, forced marriage
and female genital mutilation. Other protective actions include:
• Reflection periods for trafficked women and speedy routes to settlement in their home
or the destination country
• Violence as a form of gender persecution being considered grounds for asylum claims
