This Guide provides an overview of human rights law{\textquoteright}s approach to addressing gender-based violence.\&nbsp;
Section I distills the core human rights principles related to gender-based violence, focusing on the {\textquotedblleft}due\&nbsp;diligence{\textquotedblright} standard: a comprehensive framework to address human rights violations in a systemic and\&nbsp;proactive manner, whether committed by private or governmental actors.
Section II discusses the value\&nbsp;added of human rights principles in the U.S. context, and identifies concrete ways to integrate core\&nbsp;human rights principles into domestic policy.
Section III describes seminal international law cases related\&nbsp;to gender-based violence.
Section IV concludes by offering several resources on human rights and gender-based violence, including U.S. government and NGO reports and recommendations related to eradicating\&nbsp;gender-based violence, reviews of other countries{\textquoteright} approaches to these issues and a list of U.S.-based NGOs\&nbsp;working on gender-based violence as a human rights issue.
The Appendix is a chart of the key provisions of\&nbsp;international and regional human rights agreements that relate to gender-based violence.},
