Handbook for Parliamentarians, no.33, 2022

All aspects of the law—constitutional, civil, criminal, labour, and administrative—that discriminate against women and girls need urgent attention. Repeal or revision of discriminatory laws is imperative, along with the work to enact and put into action laws that enhance existing legal protections and ensure backing by adequate resources.

This handbook aims to serve as a resource for lawmakers from around the world for designing gender-responsive laws. Law-making should address the strategic needs of women and girls and must encompass enacting new laws and amending or repealing laws which are outdated, inconsistent with constitutions, or discriminatory.
