Disability should be included in victimization surveys; (b) In accordance with article 8 of the Convention, awareness-raising programmes designed to change the societal perception of persons with disabilities and shed light on the specific violence suffered by persons with disabilities, including situations that expose women and girls with disabilities to violence; (c) Reviewing and/or amending legislation on violence against women to ensure that it expressly prohibits all forms of violence against women and girls with disabilities, in accordance with relevant provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other relevant international human rights treaties; this should also include ensuring that legislation on violence against women and/or domestic violence takes into account specific forms of violence suffered by women and girls with disabilities; (d) Prohibiting by law forced sterilization of children and adults on the grounds of disability,57 ensuring adequate procedural safeguards to protect the right to free and prior informed consent; (e) Prohibiting compulsory/forced treatment of persons with disabilities and ensuring adequate procedural safeguards to protect the right to prior informed consent; (f) The implementation of existing laws prohibiting harmful practices of children and, as necessary, the adoption of new laws to eliminate such practices; (g) Ensuring that services and programmes designed to protect women and girls from violence are accessible to women and girls with disabilities.
