The CERDAS project comes with a strong determination to advocate for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, including in sexual and reproductive health rights and access. We seek to support the government, through relevant ministries, to formulate a more effective work plan in implementing the recommendations of the CEDAW Committee.
We believe that this support is very important, especially after the Indonesian government passed Law No. 7 of 1984, which recognizes the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). With this step, the Indonesian government has officially committed to following the principles of CEDAW, which include the protection of women’s rights.
