In terms of the first part of your question, we see this escalation in conflict and post-conflict situations. Unfortunately, we see that type of environment growing in many places around the world. Yes, when conflict is there, we see the degradation of women, as you said, the terrible violation of their human rights. In other places that have been more stable, we've seen the opposite: an engagement of many actors in trying to address the violence against women. It has been more and more on the top of the agenda of human rights defenders around the world.
We try to incorporate the question of gender equality and violence against women as a key component of human rights when we talk about human rights education. Women's rights are human rights. That's one of the very common violations. The violence, the cultural violence that exists, that transpires toward women and children is something critical that we want to address in looking at human rights. It's not just the framework, but it's also deconstructing our mind and changing our mind in terms of violence.
It's very difficult to do a lot of human rights work in conflict situations. I was alluding to that at the beginning. How do you find the best way to engage with actors in the conflict zone? In post-conflict situations, you definitely try to ensure that the human rights framework is part of the reconstruction effort, part of rebuilding the people and addressing those, but in terms of the pure conflict, it is very difficult to do a lot of human rights work there within the conflict itself.
