Women’s Human Rights
In 2008 - 2014 Karat Coalition implemented the "Women's Rights" program. It had two main components: the promotion of the mechanisms of the Optional Protocol (OP CEDAW) to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and the activities for improving the women's access to justice in the Region. We strived to make decision-makers and civil society aware of the gender equality international standards, which the governments of the region's countries, including Poland, undertook to adhere to, and have the necessary knowledge on this subject. As part of this program, we implemented the following projects:
