During the hearings it was noted that Azerbaijan as legal and political heir of
Azerbaijan People’s Republic which is a pioneer of gender equality
demonstrated political will for elimination of violence against women, and took
necessary measures in this sphere. Nevertheless, violence against women remains
its actuality in the political and social life. As a result of armed aggression
of Armenians against Azerbaijan, thousands of Azerbaijani women died, were
brutally tortured and insulted. There are still captive and hostage Azerbaijani
women in Armenia. They are kept in unbearable condition and undergo tortures. It
was noted that more active measures should be taken for elimination of violence
against women in the society. www.itv.az
