AAWAA has provided input into the UN OHCHR’s forthcoming report on mental health and human rights. We acknowledge and appreciate the recognition – reflected in past OHCHR reports and the WHO/OHCHR guide – that human rights violations, including forms of violence and discrimination, are significant contributors to adverse mental health outcomes. The link between systemic abuse and psychological distress underscores the urgent need for policies that address these critical issues, especially for women and girls.
Our submission canvasses the problem of male violence against women and girls, maternal health care, sex discrimination, and the impacts of gender identity ideology — amongst other things.
