The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Albert R. Ramdin, today called on the countries of the hemisphere to eradicate violence against women, affirming that “this scourge impedes social development and restricts the ability of women in all walks of life from attaining their full potential.”
Ramdin opened the first meeting of experts from the states parties to the Inter-American Convention to Prevent, Sanction and Eradicate Violence against Woman, who are beginning work on a mechanism to follow up on the treaty’s implementation.
The OAS Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) acts as the technical secretariat of the mechanism, which aims to ensure full implementation of the 1994 treaty known as the Convention of Belém do Pará.
Ramdin underscored the important role that the OAS has played, through the CIM, by adopting the first inter-American treaty to address this scourge, which affects women throughout the hemisphere. “The OAS has demonstrated once again the critical position that it occupies and the attention that it can bring to bear on issues of such hemispheric and global importance in order to effectuate change.”
The Assistant Secretary General said the “alarming and sobering” magnitude of the problem of violence against women “reflects the need for regional cooperation to achieve the purposes of the Convention of Belem do Pará.” He said that the issue is far too important to be ignored because it transcends politics. “Fundamentally, it is a question of the role of women in society, human rights, respect for the rule of law and inclusive democracy,” he said.
During the three-day meeting, the experts are expected to approve the committee regulations, adopt the questionnaire that will be sent to the governments on issues for evaluation and approve a work plan for the next two years, among other matters.
