OHCHR : Annual discussion on the integration of a gender perspective throughout the work of the Human Rights Council and that of its mechanisms

Despite the many gains for women and girls and people with diverse gender identities in the realization of this right, they continue to face structural, systemic and legal barriers. When they are additionally subjected to intersectional discrimination, these barriers are exacerbated.
