🌎El @CNPTArgentina se unió a los #MNP de 45 países para contribuir a la elaboración de un informe mundial sobre las mujeres en prisión, presentado hoy por la Asociación para la Prevención de la Tortura, con sede en Ginebra, Suiza. @apt_geneva

👩🏻Allí se pone en evidencia la discriminación sistémica y los principales desafíos que enfrentan las mujeres en las cárceles de todo el mundo, e insta a realizar reformas urgentes y a un mayor uso de medidas alternativas a la detención.

📊Basándose en datos y análisis de los Mecanismos Nacionales de Prevención que trabajan en África, Asia Pacífico, Europa y América Latina, este informe es el primer análisis de carácter mundial sobre las mujeres en prisión basado en hallazgos de los MNP.

📄El “Informe Mundial sobre las mujeres en prisión: Análisis de los Mecanismos Nacionales de Prevención” revela que las mujeres representan un porcentaje menor pero creciente de la población penitenciaria a nivel mundial y suelen ser objeto de abandono y discriminación sistémicos.

Asimismo, el documento ofrece exhaustivas recomendaciones para impulsar un cambio sistémico y brinda ejemplos de buenas prácticas en distintos países.

🌎El Informe Mundial va acompañado de informes nacionales individuales preparados por los Mecanismos Nacionales, incluyendo aquí el del CNPT al que se puede acceder aquí.

🇨🇦🇨🇭El Informe Mundial cuenta con el apoyo del Gobierno de Canadá y la ciudad de Ginebra.

This year we celebrate the 15th anniversary of Human Rights Commission of Maldives acting as the National Preventive Mechanism.

NPM by regularly visiting places of detention and by establishing constructive dialogue with state bodies has achieved major milestones in the prevention of torture.

NPM’s continued presence has placed places of detention in more open light and guaranteed the non-derogable rights of the detainees. Success stories from torture prevention actors further highlight NPM’s impactful journey.
