MONROVIA — The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has begun a series of trainings on the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) Shadow Report Writing and Advocacy. OHCHR is providing technical and financial support to the Civil Society Organization Human Rights Advocacy Platform to build the capacity of women rights advocates in drafting CEDAW Shadow Reports. The CEDAW Shadow Writing and Reporting training includes sessions on the monitoring of CEDAW implementation, advocacy strategies and human rights data collection. The trainings will produce a draft shadow report of the Human Rights Advocacy Platform for the forthcoming CEDAW State report review of Liberia. The trainings are also intended to train WRDs to develop CEDAW shadow treaty report.
