Encourage the Advisory Committee and the Expert Mechanisms to
continue to pay attention to the relevant dimension of violence against women in their
work and recommendations, in cooperation with the Special Rapporteur and other
relevant mandates.

orientation, gender-identity or other status.
54.
Arrangements should be envisaged to ensure that the Human Rights Council’s
thematic analysis and research on violence against women and girls continue to
consistently inform relevant thematic work of the General Assembly and its
mechanisms and vice-versa. To this end, the following recommendations may be
considered:
(a)
Encourage the General Assembly to involve, as appropriate, the Special
Rapporteur and other mandates, such as the Working Group on discrimination
against women in law and practice and the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in
persons, in the relevant thematic work and debates, including, inter alia, on
trafficking, ageing, violence against women migrant workers, improvement of the
situation of women in rural areas, and women and political participation.
(b)
Ensure adequate consideration is given to findings and recommendations
contained in relevant reports submitted to the General Assembly in the context of
relevant the Human Rights Council thematic and country-specific work and debates.
(c)
Ensure that relevant Human Rights Council reports are brought to the
attention of the General Assembly in connection with discussions under the agenda
items on human rights and the advancement of women. This should include the
outcome of the Council’s annual full day discussion on women’s rights.
(d)
Encourage consultation and collaboration as appropriate between the
Special Representative for children and armed conflict and Special Representative of
the Secretary-General on violence against children with the Special Rapporteur and
other relevant mechanisms of the Human Rights Council.
(e)
Encourage the provision of an opportunity for other relevant special
procedures, particularly the Working Group on discrimination against women in law
and practice, to systematically report to, and engage in a dialogue with the General
Assembly.
(f)
Draw on the specific knowledge and expertise of the Special
Representative for children and armed conflict and the Special Representative of the
Secretary-General on violence against children in the context of special sessions of the
Human Rights Council and other relevant country-specific and thematic work.
