30 Years of CEDAW

The Convention on the Eliminiation of All forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has turned 30. Siyanda has compiled a whole set of recent publications around this anniversary and plenty of other helpful sources on CEDAW which you can find here. For those who don't know yet: The UN Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women publishes country reports, including NGO shadow reports, on the web - usually in several languages. For most recent reports on Armenia, Cameroon, Germany, Guatemala and others, for example, look here.

Literature on Gender-Based Violence

These days I have been
--> going through heaps of publications on violence against women (VAW), many of which you'll find via the Siyanda portal. A few highlights:

Funding for Women's Groups (II)

Here's another helpful, if slightly dated (2006) source on fundraising for women's organisations, a WORD document you can download from Siyanda - click here. For plenty of publications on mainstreaming gender equality, rummage about in the Siyanda site; it's rich!
As I am writing this I stumble across an entire website for networking between women's funds, the Women's Funding Network. The site includes a directory of its members with links to websites; if you go through these carefully you may well identify potential donors.
