Resultate von früheren Phasen:   In the last 30 years, IWRAW has built the capacity of over 1000 activists in over 165 countries on how to effectively engage in the CEDAW mechanism at national, regional and global level. Results at national level arise from long-term commitment and joint efforts of women’s rights organisations (WROs). Recent examples of such results supported by IWRAW include changes to legislation around domestic violence in Cambodia and Myanmar, and a change to Timor-Leste’s electoral law to facilitate greater representation of women.
