E CHECKLIST CHECKLIST FOR EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION ;; Understand and be guided by the international legal framework, as well as relevant regional instruments that prohibit discrimination and guarantee women and men equality in the enjoyment of their human rights. ;; Be aware of specific standards applying to women (e.g. the Bangkok Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders or standards relating to maternal mortality and morbidity). ;; Pay attention to all types of violations of women’s rights. Pay attention not only to sexual violence but also to other forms of GBV and other violations to which women are exposed. Acknowledge that a gender analysis includes addressing the differentiated impact of violations, including violations of civil, economic, political, cultural and social rights in the private and public spheres and in humanitarian settings. ;; Use the contextual information gathered in the preparation phase to understand the underlying causes and manifestations of discrimination against women and LGBTI persons and their repercussions for issues being investigated. ;; Take note of discriminatory legal provisions and how they may lead to or compound different forms of SGBV and other violations of women’s rights. Examples include provisions in the Criminal Code allowing for the defence of “honour” to be invoked as a mitigating circumstance in murder cases, the lack of legal provisions prohibiting child and forced marriage, regulations on clothing to be worn by women in public, restrictions to women’s freedom of movement and punishments imposed to enforce such regulations, among others. ;; Analyse different types of violations with the aim to establish gender-specific patterns, including trends in SGBV; identify the gender-specific consequences of the violations and their root causes. ;; Examine whether existing gender inequalities have been exacerbated and/or have placed women at a heightened risk of different forms of human rights violations, including SGBV. Keep in mind that new patterns of discrimination against women and LGBTI persons may emerge due to the conflict/crisis. ;; Analyse whether the denial of civil, economic, political, cultural and social rights has increased the vulnerability of women to human rights violations or abuses in the situation under investigation and whether SGBV has contributed to additional violations or abuses of human rights. ;; Note intersecting forms of discrimination that place specific groups of women, girls, men and boys at heightened risk of certain violations. 49
