CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women)

Kia ora,

I attended the CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women) for Change Women's Human Rights Education Institute in Toronto with the trainers Alda Facio, Martha Morgan and Angela Lytle. Many women and one man from many different countries attended this one week workshop. It was an honour to hear the different perspectives of Human Rights for Women from differing countries. I highly recommend such workshops for those wanting to understand the United Nations, how it works, how Conventions work, who the State Countries are that ratified this convention, how State reports are done and how NGOS are important. This was an amazing learning and experience. You can found out more from the following:
