This toolkit has its roots in FAFIA's experience with the U.N. Committee in 2003. It is designed to assist FAFIA's member groups, policy-makers and parliamentarians to understand the significance of the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). It is also intended to provide resources so that groups from across the country can mobilize for the implementation of the U.N. recommendations by all levels of government. Since the U.N.'s review in 2003, FAFIA members have traveled around the country in order to spread the word about Canada's obligations under CEDAW, and to strategize with equality-seeking women regarding the U.N.'s recommendations to Canada.
The toolkit is organized into four sections:
Women and the Convention in Canada;
Spreading the Word;
What Governments in Canada Must Do;
CEDAW in the Global Context.
