| Notes: | This article:?provides an overview of human rights frameworks and their relevance to women's rights;?outlines the mechanisms provided for by the Optional Protocol;?considers how the Optional Protocol has been used elsewhere via the case study of Ciudad Juárez in Mexico;?considers the rationale for signing the Optional Protocol; and?considers the limitations and a feminist critique of human rights mechanisms to address sexual violence against women.It concludes by suggesting that there are some notable limitations in the manner in which sexual violence, and women's rights more generally, are conceptualised in a rights discourse. Mechanisms such as the Optional Protocol represent an important and useful tool for addressing sexual violence against women. |
