Speaking to the CEDAW Committee about women’s rights in the UK

Today (22/10/2012) , my colleague Charlotte Gage, policy officer at the Women’s Resource Centre (WRC), is in Geneva as part of a small group of women from the UK addressing the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). She will be highlighting the problems impacting on women’s equality in the UK and guiding the Committee on what women’s organisations believe our Government must be questioned on, and held to account over, by the UN. This is a unique opportunity for women to raise with the UN the key issues that we are facing in the UK today.
