The UN Commission on the Status of Women invites any individual, non-governmental organization, group, or network to submit accurate and detailed information to the Commission relating to the promotion of women's rights in political, economic, civil, social, and educational fields in any country anywhere in the world. The Commission is particularly interested in receiving any information relating to alleged violations of human rights that affect the status of women. The Commission will use this information to analyze emerging trends and patterns of injustice and discriminatory practices against women. This analysis informs the Commission's policy process, including the formulation of the best strategies to promote gender equality. The author's name will not be made known unless the author provides explicit permission. Submissions will be accepted until 14 August 2009.
