"Amnesty International calls on the 47 Member States of the Council of Europe to agree to draft a comprehensive human rights treaty on the human rights of women and girls to be free of all forms of gender-based violence, through the life cycle. The elaboration of such an instrument would be a critical next step in the effort to eradicate violence against women."
