About IWRAW Asia Pacific

Since 1993, IWRAW AP has worked towards the realisation of women’s human rights, mainly through the lens of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

We work on:

  • Countering human rights regression and UN capture
  • Interrogating borders and their impact on women’s human rights
  • Connecting gender equality to environmental justice
  • Advancing gender equality in the world of work
  • Transforming economics and development through a feminist approach

IWRAW AP is an NGO in Special Consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. We facilitate and monitor CEDAW implementation.
