This publication from UNIFEM examines "how nationally based women's rights advocates have used CEDAW and its UN monitoring process in creative ways to build pressure for political change at home. The book extends previous discussions of the role of non-governmental organizations in the process of human rights norm internalization by focusing on the ways that nationally and locally based women's rights advocates have used the treaty body monitoring process to fundamentally change the context in which they work, by what we might call “globalizing justice.” The book aims to capture the experiences of women at the national level in using CEDAW for women's human rights advocacy and to facilitate sharing of best practices and lessons learned so that innovative uses of CEDAW by advocates can be replicated."
