Abstract:
The history of establishing the principle of non-discrimination in international public law is marked by the progressive evolution of international consciousness regarding the necessity of guaranteeing equality and fundamental rights for individuals and states. An important moment in the history of affirming non-discrimination was the adoption of the United Nations Charter in 1945, which states in the preamble that all UN members must promote respect for the fundamental rights of humans without distinction of race, sex, language, or religion. Subsequently, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 consolidated these principles and asserted that all people are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Another significant moment was the adoption of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in 1965, representing a major step in addressing discrimination based on race. Later, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women in 1979 and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989 expanded these principles to cover other categories of individuals.

Abstract:
The author conducted a retrospective review of the activities of international organizations through the prism of their role in forming the legislative foundation for combating gender-based violence. It is noted that for the first time at the international level the norm of equality of all people was enshrined in Art. 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. An important step towards combating gender-based violence was the signing in 2011 of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. The Istanbul Convention visualizes the issue of gender-based violence. It has been determined that women and girls are increasingly exposed to severe forms of violence, such as domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape, forced marriage, crimes committed in the name of so-called "honor", and genital mutilation, which constitutes a significant violation of human rights. for women and girls and is a major obstacle to achieving equality between women and men. The author singles out three conditional periods of formation of the modern paradigm of counteraction to gender - based violence in the activity of international organizations: 1) 1945 - 1974. The basic foundations of gender equality are laid at the level of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Combating gender-based violence was not considered through the prism of sex discrimination. The activities of the world community were aimed primarily at combating discrimination against women in the political, socio-economic and cultural spheres of society. 2) 1975-2010.During this period, all 4 World Conferences on the Status of Women were held. In 1979, the General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Articles 30 of the Convention clearly define discrimination against women and propose an agenda for action at the national level to end such discrimination. The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, adopted by the General Assembly in 1993, contains a definition of violence against women. 3) 2011 - to the present time. This period covers the process of realizing the scale of the spread of gender-based violence. A key event of this period was the adoption in 2011 of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. Activation of the world community to intensify the fight against gender-based violence. Adoption of sustainable development goals, in which gender equality is recognized as the general idea (Goal 5) and condition of sustainable development.

Abstract:
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) imposes on signatory States the obligation to implement and apply legal measures promoting equality and the elimination of gender discrimination. The General Assembly adopted it in 1979. Violence against women is, on the one hand, one of the most systematic and widespread forms of human rights violation in the world and, on the other, a socio-economic problem that impacts social harmony, economic growth and threatens overall development progress. The consequences include the deterioration of women’s mental and physical health, disruption of communities, and a decrease in economic productivity. The manifestation of unequal power relations between women and men is one of the most extreme forms of gender-based discrimination and an attack on the dignity and fundamental rights of women and girls. Gender-based violence stems from structural causes linked to the norms and values of a society, culture, or community. These factors legitimize and perpetuate various gender inequalities based on a hierarchy of relationships between men and women, thus contributing to gender-based violence. Harmful stereotypes and traditional expectations further bolster these inequalities, restricting women's autonomy and frequently rationalizing acts of violence. At the beginning of October 2023, a woman was subjected to cruel and degrading treatment, tied up and beaten by law enforcement officers in Kisangani, the capital of Tshopo province, on the orders of her ex-husband; the latter, using his position as a public official, ordered the arrest and beating of his ex-wife by law enforcement officers; As a result, the person who gave the order and the officers who carried out the manifestly illegal order were prosecuted and convicted, in accordance with the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, which requires States to act with due diligence to prevent, investigate and punish acts of violence against women in accordance with national law, whether perpetrated by the State or by private persons. Every woman has the right to respect for the inherent dignity of the human person and to recognition and protection of her human and legal rights. This article is timely and calls for the unfailing application of provisions on respect for the recognised rights of women and girls, in the interests of a fairer and more balanced society.

Abstract:
Despite legislation, policies and practice, and while some progress has been made in many countries, there are still no countries who have achieved a hundred per cent gender equality (Gender Equality Index, EIGE, 2019). Over the years this has included several supranational agreements and mandatory regulations signed by countries such as the Convention of the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW, 1979), the Platform of Beijing (1995), the Istanbul Convention (2011), and more recently the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2015), among others. The failure of these initiatives indicate that gender inequality, discrimination and prejudice suffered by women are embedded in structural unequal power relations. The ultimate goal of the ‘gender mainstreaming principle’ is the integration of a gender perspective into the preparation, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation policies, regulatory measures and spending programmes (including research ones), with a view to promoting gender equality between women and men, and combating discrimination.

Abstract:
The GCC States: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have affirmed their commitment to human rights when they ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women 1979 (CEDAW). Stressing their commitment to such international human rights instrument in theory does not reflect their practice, especially where women face legal forms of discrimination, in particular, when they do not enjoy the same nationality rights as men, e.g. the right to pass nationality to their children. The GCC States attempted to evade such obligations by entering reservations to Article 9(2) of CEDAW, or in other words they put a spoke in the wheel. However, this study demonstrated that their reservations are inadmissible because they are incompatible with the provisions of the CEDAW. This study demonstrated that the GCC States reservations to Article 9(2) of CEDAW are incompatible with the object and purposes of both conventions, and therefore should be void.

Abstract:
The violations and abuses of the rights of women and children has been a source of global concern for decades. The United Nations (UN) has made several international efforts to protect the rights and freedoms of women and children starting with the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHRs) by its General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948, which sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be internationally safeguarded. Other efforts which the UN has made to protect the rights of women include the Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others 1949, Equal Remuneration Convention 1951, Convention on the Political Rights of Women 1952, Convention on the Nationality of Married Women 1957, Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention 1958, Convention against Discrimination in Education 1960, Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage and Registration of Marriages 1962, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) 1979. Similarly, efforts which the UN has made to protect the rights of children include the UN General Assembly Declaration of the Rights of the Child 1959, the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice (The Beijing Rules) 1985, the Declaration on Social and Legal Principles relating to the Protection and Welfare of Children 1986, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989, the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime 2003. However, despite these global efforts made by the UN to protect the rights of women and children, there still exist rampant cases of the violations of the rights of women and children globally. Therefore, the UN, in 2015, made further efforts to protect the rights of women and children through its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article, which adopted the doctrinal research methodology, assesses the protection of the human rights of women and children under the United Nations 2030 Agenda for SDGs in the light of some selected human rights instruments.

Abstract:
The problem of discrimination against women is pervasive. Peripheralization of women increased with time and was considered as normal in the culture ruled by males. Gender equality and justice based on the individuality of women was not the concern of international human rights legislations in the outset. Establishment of the United Nations as a champion of equality acts as a light to the proponents of equality and gender justice to struggle against the prevailing prejudice against women. With enshrining equality between sexes in its Charter, the United Nations enacted various policies and programmes pertaining to women. Over the years UN made various attempts to minimise the prejudice against women and to give equal opportunity to them. The most major success of the United Nations in this area was the adoption of the “Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women” (CEDAW) in 1979. The present paper traces the historical journey of CEDAW with analysing the initiatives taken by United Nations for the promotion and protection of women’s rights. The adoption of the CEDAW was most significant success and a key step in the United Nations' mission to end discrimination against women. The Convention addresses the hole caused by the non-recognition of women's individuality. It compensates for the international human rights law's failure to include non-state actors within its reach. CEDAW is an international agreement that defines worldwide norms and the internationally acknowledged ideal of gender equality.

Abstract:
In Saudi Arabia women are legal minors who need permission from a male guardian in, among others, matters concerning education, employment and health care. Despite the obvious subordination of women in the country, Saudi Arabia has ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, with a reservation saying that in cases of contradiction between the Convention and Islamic law they do not obligate themselves to follow the rules of the Convention. Respecting the culture, tradition and religion of non-western societies is important in the work with implementing international human rights. However, in the case of Saudi Arabia, it seems like the cultural and religious claims merely function as justification of an institutional oppression of women. This institutional practice of oppression is unique and taken to the extreme, but oppression of women in itself is a global phenomenon, which is not connected to a specific culture.

Abstract:
The present study examines the status of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in Japan, with due regard to the status of treaties in general as sources of rights and obligations in the country. Further, the study aims to ascertain whether the said Convention has been properly implemented and enforced, and to demonstrate obstacles causing deficiencies and shortcomings in regards to combating discrimination against women in the labour market. In theory, treaties enjoy a high status in Japan, however, human rights treaties are rarely directly applied by the courts. Although certain legislative reforms have been undertaken to bring domestic law into harmony with the CEDAW, the Convention has had a limited impact. The domestic legislation fails to prohibit all forms of discrimination against women and the prohibitions, as well as the statistical targets for female representation, lack the backing of an effective enforcement mechanism. Additionally, the Japanese judiciary has been reluctant to accept arguments based on the CEDAW and, so far, no litigants have prevailed explicitly on the grounds of the Convention. The vague wording of the CEDAW makes the provisions easy to circumvent, which stresses the importance of bridging discrepancies between the treaty rules and domestic law. Finally, the Government of Japan needs a more comprehensive approach in addressing the issue of sex discrimination in the labour market, which includes working proactively to modify discriminatory practices and stereotypes.

Abstract:
This thesis makes a unique contribution in exploring the relationship between international legal commitments and women's poverty. Three normative arguments underpin this thesis. First, that poverty is a gender-based phenomenon. Second, that gender-based poverty is a obstacle to human rights. Third, if the promise of human rights is to be realised for all people it is necessary to move gender-based poverty into the realm of international human rights law. The ideal place to theorise on the relationship between human rights and gender-based poverty is CEDAW. Notwithstanding that CEDAW addresses civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights and negative cultural attitudes on women, there is no substantive provision in CEDAW requiring State to ameliorate gender-based poverty. The first part of my thesis argues that this gap can be overcome by an evolutionary interpretation of CEDAW. I make the argument, that equality and non-discrimination, two norms that permeate all of CEDAW, can be interpreted to incorporate the harms of gender-based poverty comprehensively into the treaty framework. I use public international law interpretative framework and the Committee's own work to demonstrate that the commitment to eliminating discrimination against women and achieving gender equality in CEDAW necessarily requires State to respect, protect and fulfill the human rights of women in poverty. The second part of thesis shifts to examine how this interpretation can be integrated into the work of the Committee. To ensure a coherent and comprehensive approach to gender-based poverty that is consistent with my proposed interpretation of CEDAW in I propose: (i) modifications to the State reporting guidelines and (ii) a comprehensive General Recommendation on women and poverty. This thesis lays the necessary theoretical and practical groundwork so that the Committee and other relevant national and international actors can hold States accountable for women in poverty's human rights.

Abstract:
In 1981, Canada ratified the Convention of Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in what would be perceived as an attempt to create a more just and equal society for women. However, with the implementation of harsh neo-liberal policies that emphasize privatization and minimal government intervention, women in Canada, particularly those most disadvantaged, are facing human rights violations. The past decade has been especially damaging as Canada’s conservative government led by Stephen Harper made drastic funding cuts to women’s organizations and serious cutbacks to social services through austerity measures. These neo-liberal policies are not only incompatible with the CEDAW, but are in direct opposition to its mandate, and democratic values in general. I will outline the recommendations made by CEDAW to the State of Canada, and discuss the State’s blatant disregard towards the CEDAW and its principles of eliminating discrimination against women. I will describe the actions that the Canadian government, specifically the current conservative government, has taken to intentionally hinder the advancement of women’s rights. I will argue that that these violations are an attempt to suppress threats to the current politico-economic system, neo-liberalism, which, I will argue, is inherently discriminatory. I will further argue that, especially in light of its colonial past and neo-colonial present, Canada must support autonomous women’s rights movements and provide extensive social services if an effort to eliminate discrimination against women is to be made.

Abstract:
This is a comparative legal study of compliance with UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) by Ghana and the United Kingdom. The 30 articles of the CEDAW cover many aspects of discrimination against women and the need for State Parties to take concrete steps to eliminate the menace of all forms of discrimination against women. This research is about the conceptual understanding of the law of discrimination (article 1) and states' responsibilities to take appropriate measures to comply with the law and ensure practical realisation of the enjoyments of human rights by women (article 2). Our literature review brings together some of the salient debates on the conceptual understanding of discrimination as expressed in the language of CEDAW and other UN Conventions on Human Rights, and what is to be considered as appropriate responses to combat discrimination against women. It is argued that since we seek to examine legal and practical responses by two historically linked jurisdictions, but separated at the same time by a considerable gap of legislative and practical experiences on the issue of discrimination, the preferred overarching methodology to explore the many interrelated issues is a comparative, functional and qualitative legal research approach. Our data source is documentary evidence in the form of national legislation, constitutional provisions, UN, EU and Africa Union Treaties on human rights as well as scholarship on the law of discrimination. To analysis the data, we developed nine indicators of compliance to test the level of qualitative compliance. For evidence of practical and progressive improvement in the fortunes of women, we rely on materials on representation of women in a variety of institutions, and the level of continued violence and human rights abuses from the records on national human rights institutions and NGOs. Whilst the level of legislative and constitutional compliance with the nine indicators on article 1 and 2 is commendable, there is significant level of continued violation of human rights of women in both jurisdictions. Institutional representation of women in both countries remains at an unacceptable level. In the UK the driving force on the level of improvement experience is the combined influence of EU law, robust judicial interpretation of EU law by ECJ and ECtHR, internal academic scholarship, civil society and political engagement with the issue of discrimination against women for a considerable length of time, and not the CEDAW. In Ghana, the drive to comply with CEDAW and the African Charter on People's and Human Rights has played a significant role in influencing change. In both jurisdictions, the most retarding factors have been and remain harmful cultural practices and prejudices against women. We offer some practical steps towards the elimination of such practices.

Abstract:
Denna uppsats undersöker levnadssituationerna för kvinnor i änkestånd i städerna Vrindavan och Tiruchirappalli, Indien. Till Vrindavan vallfärdar kvinnor i änkestånd från hela landet och staden beskrivs som en ”änkornas stad”. Tiruchirappalli är hem åt många bönder med familjer och därigenom kvinnliga bönder i änkestånd vilka marginaliseras. Syftet är att problematisera och belysa det utanförskap och de svårigheter många av kvinnorna hamnar i och möter på grund av sitt änkestånd, i relation till CEDAW. Detta utifrån tre forskningsfrågor vilka undersöker hur kvinnornas levnadssituationer ser ut i relation till Iris Marion Youngs teori om förtryck, på vilket sätt kvinnornas levnadsförhållanden blir en del av deras identitet då de ofrivilligt placeras i den sociala gruppen ”änkorna”, samt vad detta har för implikationer på deras rättigheter. Youngs teori om förtryck samt Chandra Talpade Mohantys kritik kring makt och porträttering används för att svara på frågorna. Uppsatsen bygger på insamlad empiri och 14 intervjuer som förvärvats genom deltagande observation och en semi-strukturell intervjumetod. Insamling av empiri skedde genom två oberoende fältarbeten under 2018 och 2019 på två ideella organisationer i Vrindavan och Tiruchirappalli, vilka arbetar för att stärka kvinnornas roll i samhället. Resultatet konstaterar att kvinnor i änkestånd kan sägas förtryckas utifrån Youngs fem förtryckskriterier på grund av den sociala grupp de placeras i, vilket kränker deras rättigheter som kvinnor och människor. Slutsatsen kan även dras att relaterad stigmatisering håller på att försvinna vilket kan bero på förändrade samhällsnormer.
This thesis aims to gain further understanding of the living conditions for widows in the cities of Vrindavan and Tiruchirappalli in India. Widows from all over India travel to Vrindavan, known as ”the city of widows”, when they have nowhere else to go, and Tiruchirappalli is home to a high number of farmer widows whom are being marginalized. This thesis seeks to problematize and shed light upon the alienation and difficulties these women face as a result of their widowhood, in relation to CEDAW. Based on three research questions it examines how the women’s living conditions could be understood in relation to Iris Marion Young’s theory about oppression; in which ways their living conditions become part of their identity because of their involuntary placement in the social group ”the widows”; and which implications this have on their rights. Young’s theory and Chandra Talpade Mohanty’s criticism regarding power and portrayal are being used to answer these questions. Information was provided through two independent fieldwork experiences conducted 2018 and 2019 at two NGO:s in said cities, both aiming to empower widows. The information consists of 14 interviews provided by participant-observation and a semi-structured interview method. The result shows that widows are being oppressed based on Young’s five criterions of oppression because of their involuntary placement in the social group ”the widows”, which in turn violates their rights as women and humans. However, the conclusion also states that related stigmatization continues to decrease, which could be a result of changing norms.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of the Convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, CEDAW, in Uppsala local council and county council. The aim is to examine how the respondents, in their daily work, understand and implement the convention as well as how they consider the prerequisites for a successful implementation. The study was conducted using qualitative interviews with three civil servants and four politicians. The theoretical approach was implementation theory whose concepts willingness, comprehension and capability were used as tools for the analysis. The results portray CEDAW as a well-known treaty amongst the respondents but at the same time absent in local politics and everyday work. The convention is perceived as an abstract and ideological document which reveals the respondents’ insufficient knowledge about CEDAW as a human rights treaty and the state´s obligation to eliminate discrimination against women. The results also indicate that unclear instructions and responsibility distribution as well as lack of resources, such as time and knowledge, obstruct successful implementation of CEDAW. In conclusion, gender equality is neither a prioritised issue in Uppsala local council and county council and nor seen as a human right.

The aim for this thesis is to study the international gender equality work from a perspective of the concept of universalism and particularism, with the United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights, and especially -“The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women”, in focus. The shadowreports of Namibia and Sweden are used as examples of how countries with different historical, political and social contexts are working with gender equality.A theroetical framework is constitued by theories as postmodernism, postcolonialism and feminism with basis from social constructionism. The thesis is methodological influenced by Critical Discourse Analysis. Notions from former studies were also used as tools in the analysis. Some of the main notions, which within the concept of universalism and particularism, appeared as difficulties in the implementing of the CEDAW, were religion, law, democracy and superior position for men towards women.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Relações Internacionais
O princípio da não discriminação em função do sexo está há muito consagrado no Direito Internacional: começando pela Carta das Nações Unidas, na Declaração Universal dos Direitos do Homem e nos dois principais Pactos internacionais sobre direitos humanos: o Pacto Internacional sobre Direitos Civis e Políticos e o Pacto Internacional sobre Direitos Económicos, Sociais e Culturais. Em 1979 o princípio da não discriminação em função do sexo bem como outros direitos da mulher foram objecto de um tratado específico, a Convenção sobre a Eliminação de Todas as Formas de Discriminação contra as Mulheres (CEDAW). Entre 1974 e 1979 ocorreria uma alteração da condição social da mulher em Portugal, nomeadamente o alargamento do acesso a diversas carreiras profissionais, do direito ao voto e da licença de maternidade, bem como o reconhecimento constitucional da igualdade entre homens e mulheres. A 24 de Abril de 1980 Portugal assinou a CEDAW e a 16 de Fevereiro de 2000 o Protocolo Opcional à CEDAW. O presente trabalho procura estudar a influência da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) na evolução dos direitos da mulher portuguesa através dos compromissos assumidos como Estado Parte da CEDAW. A investigação teve por objectivo aferir o grau de cumprimento por parte de Portugal das disposições da CEDAW e as razões que explicam o eventual (in)cumprimento de algumas das suas disposições. Pretendeu-se ainda perceber o impacto que a CEDAW tem tido nos direitos políticos, sociais e económicos (relacionados com os direitos da mulher) em Portugal. A recolha e análise de dados assentou sobretudo nos relatórios periódicos entregues por Portugal ao Comité CEDAW, nas observações finais e recomendações do Comité CEDAW a Portugal, no exame do mecanismo de queixas individuais, nos inquéritos envolvendo Portugal e nos julgamentos em Portugal em que a CEDAW foi invocada.
The principle of non-discrimination sex based is established in international law. Starting with the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the two main international covenants: International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. In 1979 the principle of non-discrimination sex based and other women’s rights were the subject of a specific treaty, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Between 1974 and 1979 a change would happen to the social status of women in Portugal, namely the extension of maternity leave, of the access to different careers and of the right to vote, as well as constitutional recognition of equality between men and women. Portugal signed the CEDAW on 24 April 1980 and the Optional Protocol on 16 February 2000. The present paper aims to study the influence that the United Nations (UN) has had on the evolution of portuguese women’s rights through the commitments undertaken by Portugal as a CEDAW State Party. This investigation had the goal to analyze the degree of compliance and non-compliance by Portugal with the CEDAW provisions, and the reasons behind that (non)compliance. We also intended to understand the impact CEDAW has had on political, social and economic rights (connected with women’s rights) in Portugal. The data collection and analysis was mostly based on the reports submitted by Portugal to the CEDAW Committee, the concluding observations and recommendations made by the Committee to Portugal, on individual communications, on inquiries implicating Portugal and on trials in Portugal in which the CEDAW was invoked.

Abstract:
AbstractFinland is famous for high scores in PISA league tables as well as for high scores in gender equality indexes. Sometimes these two championships seem to be competing. Since the first PISA tests, an old concern for boys’ underachievement has received new emphasis and the gender gap in results has detracted from national pride in the excellent overall results, as well as hiding a growing social and ethnic gap. In the 1980s concern about underachieving boys in Finland was matched by efforts towards gender equality in education following global declarations and resolutions of gender equality after the United Nations’ Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in 1979. Supported by the first equality projects, gender research in Finnish education took the first steps in the late 1980s. Since that time, gender researchers in education have collaborated in carrying out gender equality administration and projects. A constant task has been to challenge the simple juxtaposition of girls and boys that is sometimes evident in the concerns about boys’ achievements. In this chapter, I describe and analyse the interlinked histories of gender equality work, feminist studies in education, and the boy discourse, with reflections on changes and sustainability in Finnish education policies. The bodies of data include documents associated with gender equality projects, national PISA reports, reviews of research articles and PhD studies that draw on feminist research in education. I also use my own experience as an actor in the field since the early 1980s.

Abstract:
Violence against women, which is accepted as a violation of human right in Turkey and in whole world for many years, causes physical and mental harms by practicing all kind of personal and collective behavior including force and pressure. Femicides have increased 1400% in the last seven years and one of every three women is subjected to violence. It is doubtful that in international law; Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and Council of Europe Convention and in additional to this in national law; The 1982 Constitution and The Law to Protect Family and Prevent Violence Against Women can provide effective guarantee to protect the place of woman in Turkish Society or not? Despite all of the legislative regulations, the violence against women in Turkey increasingly goes on. For this reason it is crucial to evaluate the articles no 5th, 10th, 17th, 41st and 90th of Constitution which compose the legal basis for preventing violence against women. Republic of Turkey’s founding philosophy bases on equality of women and men, which means equal rights for every single citizen. To end this violence against women; can be achieve only through provide this equality legally and defacto, and also, apply social state’s principles in real life. Because in social states, struggling against this violence should be accepted as government’s policy. The state should be in cooperation with all women's organizations and provide training for related trade bodies.

Abstract:
The “Country Profile of Women’s Health and Development in Indonesia” contains a thorough review of the following: Geographical, Political, Socio-Demographic, and Economic Profile of Indonesia; Status of Women; and Women’s Health Status. In view of the complexity of the problems facing women, the document concludes that Indonesia needs a plan for the future with a gender perspective that prioritizes increased life expectancy, legal protection, and empowerment for women. To reach this goal, Indonesia started by ratifying the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and set it into law in 1984. This convention, together with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) that was ratified in 1990, directly addresses various issues facing women, children, and families.
