ဖော်ပြချက်/အကြောင်းအရာ:
"Gender equality recognizes that while women
and men are physically different, they are
entitled to the same opportunities for self
realization and the same human dignity.
Enhancing women?s security, establishing
institutional practices and laws that do not
reinforce power imbalances, and providing
appropriate mechanisms for redress ‐‐ are
essential elements to ensure equality. Whilst
laws and policies may state formally that men
and women are equal, they must also take into
account the prevailing conditions that prevent
women from actually experiencing equality.
Myanmar acceded to the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women (CEDAW) in 1997. As part of its
treaty obligations, Myanmar has committed to
ensuring that its laws uphold women?s rights
and advance women?s equality. This Briefing
Paper aims to provide background information
relevant to women?s rights and protection in
Myanmar, analysis of existing laws and their
compliance with CEDAW norms, and
comparative experience from three ASEAN
neighbours. The Paper supports the creation of
Anti‐Violence Against Women Laws as part of
larger law reform strategies..."
