ABSTRACT
In the international arena, despite all efforts, a diverse approach to the application of international human rights law still exists. The consensual nature of international law and the patchiness of its application are two disadvantages of international human rights law. As explained in the Forced Marriage chapter on primary school education in England and Wales, the provision of contents that deal with non-discrimination of genders was reinforced by the Equality Act 2010 and the Children and Social Work Act 2017. Adopting the curriculum will also satisfy the requirements of several international human rights law obligations where adoption of educational measures on gender equality and human rights are emphasised. Furthermore, the Commission on the Status of Women, in its Agreed Conclusions, makes express referral to honour crimes, and urges governments to implement concrete and long term measures to transform discriminatory social norms and gender stereotypes. .
