NEW THEMES FOR CEDAW!

CEDAW HAS EXPANDED THEMES FOR ATTENTION IN MEMBER STATE REVIEWS. Two new working groups have been set up by the 42nd and 43rd session of CEDAW. One on the "Rights of Older Women" and the second on the "The Economic Consequences of Divorce".This is important because CEDAW is a Binding Convention for those UN countries which have ratified the general recommendations of the CEDAW Committee. Now these two important areas will also receive attention in the member state reports and the work of CEDAW.Source: WUNRN.com
