Source:IWRAW-AP This manual provides a framework for reporting and monitoring implementation of women's human rights under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (the Covenant).
It is designed primarily for use by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in applying Covenant provisions, using it to advocate for women's human rights, and preparing information for use by the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (the Committee) in country-specific reviews of Covenant implementation.
The contents of this manual may also provide guidance to government officials on fulfilling obligations with respect to equality (Article 3) and nondiscrimination (Article 2.2) under the Covenant and other human rights treaties.
