ASEAN Regional plan of action on the elimination of violence against women (ASEAN RPA on EVAW)

---

Violence against women (VAW) is a violation of human rights which is a form of discrimination against women. It is a manifestation of historically and structurally unequal power relations and inequalities between women and men, which prevail in all countries and which impacts all aspects of the victim’s private and public life. VAW violates human rights and fundamental freedoms of women limits their access to control over and ownership of resources, and impedes the full development of their potential. As such, it is an obstacle to the social and economic development of communities and states as well as the achievement of internationally agreed-upon development goals. Even twenty years after the adoption of Beijing Declaration, there has been little improvement in the elimination of VAW, and the rate of violence against women. It is urgent for ASEAN Member States (AMS) to give priority to the elimination of VAW. Moreover, in adopting Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women and Elimination of Violence against Children in ASEAN, AMS are committed to take all appropriate measures to prevent and respond to all forms of VAW. This ASEAN Regional Action Plan (RPA) is a demonstration of the AMS’s commitment to support the implementation of this Declaration and is consistent with the contents of the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration (AHRD) as well as with the Phnom Penh Statement on the adoption of the AHRD. It is a joint effort of the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (ACWC) and the ASEAN Committee on Women (ACW), in line with their respective Terms of Reference and work plans
