| dc.description.notes | Article presents an overview of the strategy to use a human rights approach to stopping violence against women. It traces the history of women’s quest for human rights, discusses the barriers that prevented their attainment and outlines the Amnesty International campaign Stop Violence Against Women:with its ‘due diligence’ approach to securing equality for women. Explains that the tactic of using the due diligence approach in the Australian context requires the government to respect, protect, fulfil and promote human rights which Amnesty International sees as part of the Australian commitment to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW):. Argues that sexual assault may be viewed as a human rights issue, in that women have a right not to be violated. Explores how the Australian government has sought to improve legislation and policing against sexual assault and how, using due diligence as a measure, its progress in this area should be judged. Concludes that society as a whole has it in its power to stop violence against women by implementing due diligence. | en |
