| Title | Comparing Practices by GREVIO and the UN CRPD Committee on awareness-raising initiatives |
| Summary | This paper describes the development of the awareness-raising articles in human rights arena and the growing importance of awareness-raising as a powerful mechanism in protection thereof. Hereinafter it focuses on the two game-changing articles on awareness-raising stemming from the Istanbul Convention and the UN CRPD. Given the comprehensive structure of these articles, the author decides to analyse whether and how their respective monitoring bodies, GREVIO and the UN CRPD Committee, assess States’ implementation thereof. In doing that, the author uses common denominators which can be found in both texts of the respective conventions and/or the practice of their monitoring bodies. The author concludes by noting that GREVIO monitors awareness-raising more attentively than the UN CRPD Committee. Lastly, the author sets out her recommendations to the UN CRPD Committee on how to improve its monitoring of the implementation of the UN CRPD’s Article 8 on awareness-raising, based on the practice of GREVIO. |
