At HRC62, Malta stated that violence against women and girls does not exclusively occur in conflict situations, but also in social situations including within the household. The report highlights several forms of violence against mothers. We consider the report’s references to early and forced marriage as important, shedding light specifically on violence against girls, regrettably often neglected.

We stress that responses to violence against mothers must be inclusive and responsive to the experiences of those facing intersecting forms of discrimination, including le***an mothers and other mothers in vulnerable situations.

We express our concern that the report pursues a circumscribed definition of motherhood and seeks to construct a peculiar definition. We encourage the Special Rapporteur to adopt an inclusive approach, and to refrain from including language in reporting that implies exclusion.
