Extract:

Regarding women’s access to justice, we call on all States to take practical steps to address obstacles to women’s access to justice, including by creating an enabling environment in which women can easily report incidents of violence without fear or intimidation. Furthermore, we urge all States to strengthen the capacity of their national criminal justice systems in order to serve victims fairly and with dignity.
