We urge states to reaffirm standards that they have agreed to. Considering the lack of an outcome document last year we hope that this is not the pattern when it comes to advancing women\u2019s human rights agenda. Women\u2019s human rights are not to be negotiated away.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to last year, we strongly hold the position that given the progressive development in the international era on standard setting there should no longer be any contention on any issues related to the definition and intersectionality of women and girls experiencing violence against women, including in relations to sexual and reproductive health and rights, sexual orientation and gender identity, harmful practices perpetuated in the context of negative culture and traditions, among others. We remind states that the CSW is the principal global policy-making body dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women with the sole aim of promoting women\u2019s rights in political, economic, civil, social and educational fields. Its mandate is to ensure the full implementation of existing international agreements on women\u2019s human rights and gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>We strongly demand all governments and the international community to reject any attempt to invoke traditional values or morals to infringe upon human rights guaranteed by international law, nor to limit their scope. Customs, tradition or religious considerations must not be tolerated to justify discrimination and violence against women and girls whether committed by State authorities or by non-state actors. Given the current global activism around violence against women it is imperative that member states take the lead in agreeing on a progressive outcome document that reaffirms its commitments to universal human rights standards.<\/p>\n<p>This is an important moment as we are planning the post 2015 process. The outcome document has to advance women\u2019s human rights and not lower the bar for women\u2019s human rights. Future international negotiations must move forward implementation of policies and programmes that secure the human rights of girls and women.<\/p>\n<p>We call upon the member states of the UN and the various UN human rights and development entities to recognise and support the important role of women\u2019s groups and organisations working at the forefront of challenging traditional values and practices that are intolerant to fundamental human rights norms, standards and principles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Endorsed by:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Organizations<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Acid Survivors Foundation<br \/>\nActionaid Nigeria<br \/>\nAgricultural Missions, Inc.
