520 _aThe question of indicators on VAW has been raised with increasing regularity in recent years, as a number of actors asserted the necessity of improving monitoring mechanisms on State compliance with obligations. In 1999 the Special Rapporteur on violence against women its causes and consequences (Special Rapporteur on VAW) noted the need to develop indicators to monitor State responses to VAW. UNIFEM summarised these into three areas: firstly inputs – did States have a policy, a legal framework, allocate resources; secondly what was the architecture and extent of services, how aware and skilled were professionals and what efforts were being made to raise awareness and prevent violence; thirdly how is violence measured, what data is collected on its extent and its toleration. These remain key areas of concern, with the possible addition of outcomes and evaluation. This report is a further step in this project, undertaken following a call by Member States in the 2003 resolution of the Commission on Human Rights to develop proposals for indicators on violence against women. The terms of reference for the consultancy mandated by the Special Rapporteur on VAW further stated that: Informal consultations with women’s human rights activists reveals that there is a great need for reliable indicators on violence against women in order to establish systematic data collection methods and to develop indices to measure and monitor the incidence of violence against women. Certain work has already been done on human rights indicators and on indicators on violence against women, at the national, regional and international levels. The Special Rapporteur on VAW’s report in 2006 focused on due diligence, and pointed to the necessity of States acting in good faith and taking positive steps to address and eliminate VAW.
