WOMEN’S ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE 49<br />

States should also be aware of other arising forms of violence<br />

against women, including harassment using new technologies<br />

for example. The CEDAW Committee has recalled that: “The<br />

spirit of the Convention covers other rights that are not<br />

explicitly mentioned in the Convention, but that have an impact<br />

on the achievement of equality of women with men, which<br />

impact represents a form of discrimination against women”. 117<br />

the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 32 (on economic<br />

exploitation), Article 34 (on sexual exploitation, including pornography<br />

and prostitution), Article 35 (on trafficking) and Article 36 (on<br />

exploitation prejudicial <strong>to</strong> the child’s welfare).<br />

CEDAW General Recommendation No 28, “The core obligations of<br />

States parties under article 2 of the Convention on the Elimination of<br />

All Forms of Discrimination against Women”, UN Doc CEDAW/C/GC/28<br />

(2010), paragraph 7.
