Monash’s Associate Professor Bebe Loff, an expert in human rights and public health, has been integral to a new report into gender-based killings that was tabled at the United Nations in New York.
The report lays the failure to protect the hundreds of women and girls killed each day because of their gender at the feet of governments, and urges them to comply with their obligations to investigate and eradicate femicide.
Associate Professor Loff’s research underpinned the findings that were delivered in the report created by Dr Morris Tidball-Binz, the UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary and Arbitrary Executions.
