Type:RecommendationSession:20th session, November 2014Status:AcceptedContents:Eliminate the legal concept of "children born out of wedlock" as well as combat against all forms of discrimination, both legally and in practice.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 49) Natural children (born outside wedlock) enjoy the status of legitimate children for all legal and practical purposes (Art. 48 of Law no. 49 of 26 April 1986 "Reform of family law"). Also the very recent law on civil registered partnerships confirms that recognition of natural children, in case of civil registered partnerships, is subject to Law no. 49/1986.
Para 50) Another epoch-making step in the recognition of equal gender rights was introduced by Law no. 173 of 26 November 2015 "Equal transmission of the surname". Under the new Law, parents can choose together the surname to be given to the new-born: that of the father, of the mother or both in alphabetical order.

However, these Recommendations make reference to the category of "sexual minorities", which is not provided for by the San Marino legislation.

- Women's participation
Type:RecommendationSession:20th session, November 2014Status:AcceptedContents:Ensure domestic institutions protect, promote and monitor the rights of women and girls and strengthen equality between men and women by ensuring the full participation of women in policy and decision-making processes.ExplanationWomen's right to vote and to stand as a candidate is exercised on the basis of gender equality. In order to address the low presence of women in institutions, the last electoral reform (Qualified Law no. 1 of 5 August 2008) provides that each party list for the general elections in the country shall not include more than two thirds of candidates of the same gender (the so-called obligatory quotas)ImplementationNational Report:
Para 40) San Marino has a very advanced legislation and provides for guarantees regarding the participation of women in politics and elected offices. Under Article 15 of Law no. 6/1996 and subsequent amendments, the electoral lists for the election of the Great and General Council (Parliament) shall not include more than two thirds of candidates of the same gender (the so-called "gender quotas"). In addition, the same electoral legislation provides that in the event of a tie between two candidates, the first criterion on which to make the choice is gender, and in case of a different gender, the woman is the winner. In this process of emancipation, worth noting is that, to date, 25% of the Parliament’s members are women.
Para 41) In the six-month mandate from 1 April to 1 October 2017, for the first time two women were elected Captains Regent (Heads of State).
Para 42) Currently, the Government has only one female member out of seven ministers, but recently (2008-2012 legislature) two key ministries (Foreign Affairs and Internal Affairs) were run by two women for the entire legislature.
Para 43) The full participation of women in policy and decision-making processes is monitored by the aforementioned Commission and Authority for Equal Opportunities.
Para 44) The Commission and the Authority often promote initiatives to raise public awareness of the difficulties encountered by women in their daily lives: to mention just one of these initiatives, on 8 March 2019, on the occasion of Women's Day, the initiative "In our shoes" was organised, with a particular focus on national activities and legislation to combat discrimination against women in both the labour and the political world.
Para 45) In 2017, San Marino joined the Group of Friends for Gender Equality, with the aim of promoting women's leadership as a prerequisite for promoting international peace and development.
UN Compilation:
Para 25) The HR Committee … noted that the representation of women in political life remained weak, despite measures taken to remedy the situation, such as the adoption of Qualified Law No. 1/2008, which provided that each party list of candidates running for general elections should not include more than two thirds of candidates of the same gender. In that respect, the Committee noted with concern that only 10 of the 60 members of the Great and General Council and one of the nine Secretaries of State were women.
Stakeholders Summary:
Para 41) OSCE/ODIHR NAM interlocutors expressed dissatisfaction with the lowering of the number of preferential votes, noting that this could decrease the chances for women to be elected, …
Para 62) CHR of CoE observed that San Marino signed the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul Convention) in April 2014, but had not ratified it yet.
Para 63) CHR of CoE particularly welcomed the adoption in 2008 of a Law for combatting violence against women and gender-based violence. In addition to thoroughly modifying criminal law provisions (for example by establishing injury, rape or murder committed by a partner or a member of the household as aggravating circumstances and by defining trafficking-related offences, as well as persecutory acts such as stalking or mobbing), the law also introduced several protective measures for the victims.
Para 64) CHR of CoE observed that private carers (badanti) for older persons or persons with disabilities might be in a particularly vulnerable situation. Private carers are mostly women from third countries, who live in the households where they work and who were found to be potentially vulnerable to trafficking and exploitation by the Council of Europe Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA). A particular issue concerned the fact that their stay permits are valid for a maximum period of 11 consecutive months per year. The obligation to leave San Marino after the expiry of the 11-month stay permit, even if the person could come back one month later, is seen as putting these women at a disadvantageous and precarious situation.
Para 65) However, CHR of CoE The Commissioner was pleased to note that the authorities acknowledged the need to address some of these issues and that they were examining, for instance, means of facilitating co-operation between services responsible for private carers and services used by the latter, and measures to make it easier for the badanti to turn to trade unions, courts and the Equal Opportunities Commission for protection.
Para 66) CHR of CoE noted that San Marino abolished only relatively recently some dated legal provisions, such as those in the citizenship legislation, removed in 2004, preventing Sammarinese women from transmitting citizenship to their children at birth. Important progress has nevertheless been made in recent decades, including regarding women’s participation in the labour market. As of 2015, women made up around 45% of the workforce, most being employed in the public sector. However, according to official employment statistics, the unemployment rate for women was 11.56% as of May 2015, significantly higher compared to the rate for men (6.43%).
Para 67) OSCE/ODIHR observed that while women were well represented in the election administration, they were underrepresented in elected office. The impact of the gender quota on candidate lists can be limited due to the system of preferential voting.
Para 68) CHR of CoE observed that the representation of women in politics remains very weak, despite some legislative measures to bolster it.
Para 69) CHR of CoE noted with appreciation that San Marino should take resolute measures to combat gender stereotypes, starting from the earliest levels of education, and to guarantee a much better participation of women in political life, taking account of the relevant Council of Europe standards.

- Violence against women / gender-based violence
Type:Review DocumentationSession:20th session, November 2014Status:N/AContents:Moreover, the Authority for Equal Opportunities acts in coordination with the Health Authority in order to guarantee the collection of data on violence against women and gender violence. In 2013, statistics showed that the phenomenon of violence is present in the territory, albeit with limited numbers, and reports and requests for help from the relevant services are increasing. From the Authority's interviews with the operators of public services it can be inferred that the increase in requests for help is partly due to a greater sensitivity and understanding of the measures available to victims and increased sensitivity and professional skills of operators. Worth noting is also an increase in criminal proceedings following complaints primarily filed with law enforcement authorities, and this highlights the increased sensitivity of the various police corps in the approach with victims. In the period June 2008-December 2013, the Law Commissioner - acting as Guardianship Judge - received 171 reports of gender-based violence. [Para 43] -

- Abortion
Type:Statement by State under ReviewSession:34th Session, November 2019Status:N/AContents:Abortion was a criminal offence in San Marino. Nevertheless, in specific emergency
situations in which the life of the mother was at risk, termination of pregnancy was allowed
in order to protect the health of the mother. That was in accordance with the Convention for
the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the
Application of Biology and Medicine of the Council of Europe, which provided that in
emergency situations, any medically necessary intervention could be carried out
immediately for the benefit of the health of the individual concerned. In the case of an
emergency, abortion could not be considered a criminal offence, in accordance with article
42 of the Criminal Code. [Para 105]

Type:Review DocumentationSession:7th session, February 2010Status:N/AContents:San Marino has actively participated in the Pan-European Campaign to Prevent and Combat Violence Against Women, including Domestic Violence, promoted by the Council of Europe (November 2006 – June 2008), and has joined the Campaign on violence against women launched by the United Nations on 25 February 2008. In the context of these campaigns, San Marino has strengthened and introduced measures aimed at combating the social phenomenon of violence. One of the main results of the Council of Europe Campaign was the approval of Law No. 97 of 20 June 2008, “Prevention and Repression of Violence against Women and Gender Violence”. The new Law punishes any act resulting in physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to the victim, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty. It introduces important new elements in San Marino constitutional order: besides respect for victims’ integrity and confidentiality, it also sets forth specific provisions in the Criminal Code concerning reducing or holding in slavery or servitude, gang violence, stalking, mobbing and human trafficking, as well as protection measures for victims in criminal proceedings, namely protection and reporting orders. This Law has also established the Authority for Equal Opportunities, which is responsible for collecting data on violence against women and gender violence on a six-month basis. The Authority consists of three members appointed by the Great and General Council chosen among legal experts, representatives of non-governmental organisations active in the field of gender equality, experts in communication and psychology [Paras 38-40] -

After the last general elections, held on 8 December 2019, women participation in Parliament raised to 31.5%, compared to 26.3% of the previous legislature.

Para 16) The following important international human rights instruments were ratified within the framework of the Council of Europe in the last five years: … Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (ratified in 2016), …
Para 37) The already mentioned Law no. 57/2016 has introduced, in compliance with the provisions set out in the Council of Europe’s Istanbul Convention, new crimes relating to violence against women, gender and domestic violence. In particular, the offences of forced marriage, female genital mutilation and forced sterilisation have been introduced. Moreover, Article 235 of the Criminal Code has been amended in relation to family maltreatment, also introducing the offence of domestic violence, and Article 179 bis of the Criminal Code has been supplemented with the prohibition to discriminate based on gender identity.
Para 38) Delegated Decree no. 56 of 17 May 2018 has introduced a series of provisions to provide the Authority for Equal Opportunities with operational tools aimed at coordinating all stakeholders involved in the prevention and protection of victims of violence. In recent years, the Authority has been providing information on and raising awareness of the provisions of the Law and has signed, in collaboration with the Social Security Institute, important agreements with reception facilities outside the territory to ensure effective support for victims of violence.
Para 39) Numerous initiatives aimed at preventing and combating violence against women and gender violence have been organised in collaboration with the Authority and the Department of Human Sciences of the University of San Marino, and in synergy with public and private bodies. Among these, worth mentioning are the following: (a) training courses for police forces, educators and health and social personnel on the correct application of the legislation on violence against women and gender violence; (b) Education to Affectivity Project, developed by the Observatory on Young People (“Osservatorio Giovani”), according to the guidelines of the Council of Europe’s Pestalozzi Project; (c) training theatre workshops linked to the wider project "Theatre and Citizenship", which were developed with a view to prevention, with the aim of hindering the emergence of problematic situations and promoting forms of self-protection of the younger generations by increasing their personal and social resources; (d) multidisciplinary activities for young people developed in collaboration with the Cultural Institutes, which aim to investigate diversity, starting from gender differences, to reflect on the possibility of recognising and enhancing them, to prevent discrimination and violent behaviour; (e) seminars to "recall" the new legislation on the fight against gender violence destined to schools but accessible to all operators involved in the network of services, in collaboration with the San Marino Association of Lawyers and Notaries.
Para 55) In 2016, the Department of Human Sciences of the University of San Marino, in collaboration with the Authority for Equal Opportunities, organised an in-depth seminar aimed at all San Marino teachers of all levels to provide them with adequate training in the prevention and suppression of violence against women and gender violence, as well as violence against children. The aim of the seminar was to provide teachers with up-to-date training in the light of San Marino laws and the Istanbul Convention, and to offer them useful tools for the prevention, identification and reporting of violence. With regard to the prevention and repression of violence against women and gender violence, in addition to school staff, the University of San Marino is called to train categories such as those related to law enforcement, the judiciary, professional associations and health and social services.
