Heartening to hear the Chair of UN WG on Discrimination against Women referencing the work of @musawah and @Catholic4Choice at #HRC38! Religion, culture and tradition - no excuse for violations! twitter.com/SexualRights/s…
So important that this anti-rights discourse is being discussed and countered at #HRC38! twitter.com/SexualRights/s…
.@UN_Women at #HRC38: "Discriminatory stereotypes based on patriarchal norms limit women and girls' enjoyment of their #SRHR, their access to education and services, and their full participation in political economic and social life."
.@UN_Women highlights the invaluable contributions of #WHRDs, so many of whom are being harassed, attacked or killed worldwide. States have the responsibility to ensure enabling environment, access to justice, end to impunity, and safe & open access to #humanrights bodies. #HRC38

Ivana Radačić, UN WG on Discrimination against Women, thanks @MisionMexOI for raising issue of so-called "gender ideology" prevalent in Latin America and Eastern Europe among others, and calls on States to counter it. Family values and gender equality are not incompatible. #HRC38
"The narrative arguing that cultural and religious rights are incompatible with gender equality must be countered. Culture and religion are not homogeneous; interpretations differ. See e.g. @Catholic4Choice." Ivana Radačić, UN WG on Discrimination against Women, at #HRC38
Ivana Radačić, UN WG on Discrimination against Women, stresses the link between women's bodily autonomy & their economic empowerment. We cannot secure economic empowerment without bodily autonomy - and this is true for all aspects of gender equality. #BodilyAutonomy #HRC38 #SRHR
Ivana Radačić, UN Working Group on Discrimination against Women, is very happy the WG took part in this year's #CSW and wants to see this practice extended. #HRC38
