Laying down the law: how rights based legislative reform can improve the health of women being left behind

You are warmly invited to a briefing on the draft report:

“Laying down the law: how rights based legislative reform can improve the health of women being left behind”

The report details the CEDAW Committee’s contribution to strengthening the health-related rights of women experiencing situations of vulnerability, including gender based violence and poverty. The report is an important tool for policymakers, who can use it as a framework for designing legal and policy interventions, and for women’s rights advocates, to hold governments to account.

This will be an interactive session, with a brief presentation of the report’s findings followed by an open discussion.

• Date: Monday 17 October 2022
• Time: 6:30pm for 7pm (start) to 8:30pm
• Location: InterContinental Genève, Chem. du Petit-Saconnex 7-9, 1211 Genève, Switzerland 

Light refreshments will be served.

Hosted by The George Institute for Global Health and the Australian Human Rights Institute at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.
