The text of the Istanbul Convention was originally formulated in a way that only recognized two binary genders. The Bündnis Istanbul Konvention (Istanbul Convention Alliance) published a position paper in 2023 that brings this formulation in line with a diverse understanding of gender [only available in German].
Gender-based violence means violent behaviour inflicted upon an individual or group of individuals due to their gender identity. This term is used in order to highlight that societal structures affect a person’s risk of experiencing certain forms of violence. Those who suffer most are women and girls, trans, non-binary, and intersex persons, but so do people who do not comply with certain social norms or fit into a binary gender system.
