There are many empirical studies that prove the root causes of gender-based violence lie in patriarchal and unequal power relations between men and women. As far as the Western Balkans are concerned, a recent overview of empirical studies that clarify this background can be found in: Vesna Nicolić-Ristanović and Mirjana Dokmanović, International Standards on Domestic Violence and Their Implementation in the Western Balkans (Utrecht: Humanistisch Overleg Mensenrechten [HOM], 2006).

A thorough study of scope and purpose of the Convention, including the present analysis of the Convention's goals, can be found in the first National Report on the CEDAW Convention to the Dutch Parliament. See L. S. Groenman, C. E. van Vleuten, R. Holtmaat, T. E. van Dijk and J. H. J. de Wildt (Commission of Experts on the implementation of CEDAW in the Netherlands), Het vrouwenverdrag in Nederland anno 1997 (Den Haag: Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid/VUGA, 1997). I was part of this commission of independent experts assigned by the Dutch government to write this report. An English translation of parts of this report can be found as an appendix to Holtmaat (2004), see note 8 above. The CEDAW Committee for the first time endorsed this analysis of the Groenman Report in the Concluding Comments concerning the situation in the Netherlands, issued after the Committee's 25th session in July 2001;

Culture, Religion and Gender

Therefore, it should not be concluded from the following that I take a 'cultural relativist' stance. Traditional culture and religion, in my view, can never be used as an excuse for the violation of basic human rights of women.
