Day II: The 9th of June 2020  marks the second day of GIHR’s first online training session and project on “Promoting Active Participation of Women”, in collaboration with AMAN (Protection and Social Rehabilitation Centre - Qatar).  

 

The session focused on the core human rights treaties and the two covenants in relation to Qatar, particularly the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).

Furthermore, participants were facilitated to reflect on how to completely align the provisions of said treaties with the national frameworks of AMAN. The second half of the session focused on The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW):  its history, its objective, its impact and relevance to Qatar.
