violence, in violation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (\u2018the Convention\u2019). Specifically, we are recommending questions to be asked of Bhutan by the Committee and offering recommendations on the legal and procedural changes required to make sure that perpetrators of sexual violence are brought to justice and that survivors have access to justice.<\/p>\n<p>Submitted by: Equality Now<\/p>\n\n                    \n                    \n                        \n
