Strengthening and practicing human rights, in particular women's rights, is significant to reach an open and responsible society. We achieve our goals for equality and righteousness by controlling the implementation of human rights. Using mechanisms for monitoring of human rights, in particular the instrument of shadow reports, we have been a corrective to the incorrect dispersion womens rights. Recommendations drafted in reports are basis for future activities in the field of improving the overall corpus of human rights, particularly women's rights. As a result of following international documents and their implementation at national level, we have drafted four shadow reports regarding the Convention for Eliminating All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW, 2005), International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR, 2007), International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR, 2007), Convention against Torture (CAT, 2008).
Our recommendations contribute to change and improvement of legislation, policies and the situation in general, for the purpose of effective and equal distribution of human rights and equalities of chance and opportunities.
