AP trying to update our collection of gender equality laws from around
the globe and we hope you will be able to supply us with these or point us
to any resources. An English version is preferred, but please do send
versions in your original language or any other language as well.
Therefore we would like to know:

enacted since your country has ratified CEDAW? This also includes
amendments to laws to reflect standards of equality and non-discrimination
based on CEDAW.
2. What was the background/context of the enactment of the law?
3. What are the features in the law
4. Please supply any critique or commentary of these laws. We would
welcome your personal opinion or any papers that you are aware of.
5. Have there been any cases where these laws have been used to claim
equality for women?
6. Are you aware of any model legislation for gender equality laws?
Pease send them to IWRAW Asia Pacific iwraw-ap@iwraw-ap.org

In Solidarity,
