Amnesty International presents this submission to the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women in advance of the review of Norway’s ninth periodic report on measures taken to implement the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women on 7 November 2017.
This document raises concerns related to lack of protection against gender-based violence, including rape and sexual violence. It also highlights the situation of sex workers in Norway, a marginalized group at heightened risk of a range of human rights abuses.
