Taiwan’s eastern Hualien County will hold several events on Friday to promote the Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
Though Taiwan is not a member of the UN, it signed CEDAW into law after passing the Enforcement Act of CEDAW in 2011. A three-day meeting was held last month to review Taiwan’s second report on the implementation of CEDAW.
The foreign ministry said on Wednesday that the activities in Hualien will include a three-hour forum to educate the public on the importance of CEDAW. The forum will also probe into issues concerning the prevention of sexual harassment against women.
