— July 24, 2007Migrant Forum in Asia is a membership network of more than 290 migrant organizations, migrants’ rights advocates, and individuals from 14 countries in Asia working to protect and promote the rights and well being of migrants and members of their families.
Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) welcomes the opening of the CEDAW Committee’s 39th Session especially now that the committee is celebrating its Twenty Fifth year Anniversary. We would like to congratulate the committee for its achievements in the past 25 years, particularly in its monitoring of state parties implementation of the Convention on all Forms of Discrimination Against Women which has enhanced state’s accountability for women’s enjoyment of their human rights.
