The Feminists For a Binding Treaty [is] a collective of over 15 organisations working together to integrate a gender perspective into the legally binding instrument on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights and throughout the negotiation process.

In this statement, [the collective] focus[es] on the need to integrate a gender and women’s rights perspective into the treaty in a meaningful way...It stress[es] that a gender perspective is not about treating women as a "vulnerable group" requiring "special attention"...[instead it] is an integral part of a human rights-based approach...that is essential to a “victim-oriented treaty”.
