In accordance with its mandate, the UN Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice has developed this questionnaire to gather information on “good practices” in eliminating discrimination and empowering women for its next thematic report. Given the centrality of the law to the Working Group’s mandate, the report will focus on the processes by which laws that support women’s equality and enjoyment of human rights come into being and are implemented in ways that support women’s enjoyment of their human rights and fundamental freedoms.The questionnaire can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1evFYggLPt1-sLNw85CmuNYB7fZpwgAfPu7D6vJxqxNM/editAlso available in French and Spanish here: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Women/WGWomen/Pages/CompendiumGoodPractices.aspxThe questionnaire intends to solicit information on how a specific law aimed at addressing discrimination against women and promoting women’s substantive equality has come into being, was effectively implemented (I), and what impacts the law has had for women on the ground (II).It asks respondents to provide information about a law that has been selected as an exemplary case study of a “good practice” in eliminating discrimination and empowering women in your national context.Deadline for responses: 12 September 2016 VISUAL
