Instruments adoptés par le Conseil de l'Europe
As a human rights issue, gender equality and gender-based violence are addressed firstly by human rights instruments such as the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Social Charter.
The growing awareness of the extent and persistence of the problem has led to the creation of specific instruments addressing gender-based violence in its various forms.
La Convention européenne des droits de l’homme
La Convention sur la lutte contre la traite des êtres humains
La Recommandation sur la protection des femmes contre la violence
La Recommandation sur la prévention et la lutte contre le sexisme
