Description:
This Handbook presents the results of a 2011 survey by the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) on how national Human rights institutions (NHRIs) in the OSCE region address women’s rights and gender equality. It also provides analysis and recommendations for action. The document is geared towards NHRIs that are seeking to strengthen their capacity to protect and promote women’s rights and gender equality. It can also be useful for governments and specialized institutions interacting with NHRIs and mandated to address discrimination and equality issues, as well as for human rights activists, gender advocates, NGOs and international actors working with NHRIs.
