CEDAW For Change -1 Week Intensive Institute
Facilitators: Alda Facio, Shanthi Dairiam, Martha Morgan, Angela Lytle
Offered in Partnership with International Women’s Human Rights Action Watch-Asia Pacific (IWRAW-AP)
The CEDAW for Change one-week institute is designed to cultivate a better understanding of the principles of non discrimination and equality as enshrined in CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women) and each State’s obligation to respect, protect and fulfill women’s human rights. Participants will be helped to frame whatever issues they are working on within a human rights framework from a gender perspective.
This session stresses the multiplicity of forms of discrimination women from diverse situations experience. During the week we will learn through activities focused around identity and interconnectedness, the complex nature of discrimination, the impact of culture and religion on women’s rights, and activism against discrimination. We will examine case studies that have come before the CEDAW committee and will explore ways in which CEDAW can be used to support local and national level activism through the submission of Shadow Reports by NGOs and through the CEDAW Optional Protocol.
Final application deadline for participants requiring a visa to Canada: Sept. 1, 2011
Final application deadline for participants not requiring a visa: October 1, 2011
We will continue to accept applications after this date if there are still open spaces, but cannot guarantee full assistance with visa paperwork. We also encourage local applicants to apply early as space is limited.
