This collection features a series of essays and discussions focusing on the complexities of discrimination and human rights, particularly in relation to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Contributions explore various aspects, including the role of UN human rights committees and the significance of shadow reports submitted by civil society. The dialogue between states and civil society is examined as a potential avenue for increased public engagement and accountability. Several authors discuss the importance of individual complaint procedures under both European and UN frameworks, highlighting their implications for victims of discrimination. The text also addresses constitutional rights, positive measures, and the effectiveness of anti-discrimination directives within the EU. The implementation of these directives is analyzed from different perspectives, including regional viewpoints. Furthermore, the collection includes key legal texts related to CEDAW and its optional protocol, as well as general recommendations that emphasize the need for temporary special measures to combat discrimination. Overall, the work underscores the ongoing challenges and opportunities in the pursuit of equality and human rights for women.
