This project in collaboration with UNICEF addresses, through research and analysis, the way in which women's and children's rights intersect with legislative reform. Project outcomes include: developing a comprehensive handbook chapter on New Developments in Legislative Reform to advance women's and children's rights; active engagement in the conference on legislative reform in New York City, and; convening a regional workshop in South Asia promoting awareness of the linkages and synergies between the Convention of the Rights of the Child and CEDAW for the realization of women's and children's rights.
