FYI. From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Victoria Lee Sent: Friday, 12 July 2013 12:33 AM To: ida_crpd_forum Subject: [IDA_CRPD_Forum] INFO: Friday 12 July, 1-3pm, live webcast of CEDAW Committee lunchtime briefing on Gender and Development Watch the live webcast at www.treatybodywebcast.org <http://www.treatybodywebcast.org/> Friday 12 July 2013, 1.00 to 3.00 p.m (Geneva local time) GMT +1 Lunch-time briefing at on Gender and Development, Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW Committee) There is plenty of declaratory language on the role of women in development and the importance of gender-sensitive development strategies for the realization of women's human rights. Yet, reality in all countries differs in varying degrees from the aspirations laid down in those texts. In this briefing, we would like to take a twofold look at the impact CEDAW may have on development planning and, on the other hand, how the Committee could integrate a development perspective in their state dialog. The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is the body of independent experts that monitors implementation of the respective UN-Convention. ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
