• Research/Studies on discriminatory provision towards women and girls and Dissemination

MSL was involved in two separate studies. One of the studies was ‘A review to identify legal provisions that are inconsistent with CEDAW.’ The other was ‘A study on integration of population and gender concerns in national and sectoral policies and strategies.’ The studies were aimed at drawing an authoritative guidance to identify the avenues for taking appropriate gender equality measures which could be implemented to enhance the integration of population and gender issues into the national and sectoral policies. Specific activities of MSL were to conduct literature review including review of implementation status of CEDAW, review of sectoral policy, review of plan documents and of Action Plans. Other tasks included key informants’ interview, stakeholders’ consultations and information dissemination through workshops.
