International Women’s Rights Action Watch Asia Pacific
(IWRAW Asia Pacific) was founded in 1993 to work towards the realisation of the
human rights of women through the use of the Convention on the Elimination of
All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and other international human
rights instruments. The crosscutting premise justifying IWRAW Asia Pacific’s
past, present and future areas of work is the need for the mobilisation of
women’s groups to draw accountability from their governments on the domestic
application of human rights standards. It views CEDAW and other international
treaties as tools for bringing about change at all levels and in a wide range
of contexts (e.g., violence against women, employment, marriage, citizenship,
rural development). IWRAW Asia Pacific currently works in 14 countries in South
and Southeast Asia and over 100 countries globally. For further information
