16 October 2007
The UN Committee on Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) recently finished an evaluation of Serbia’s compliance with the Convention on Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), which Serbia signed in 2006.
The Committee concluded that women from the historically nomadic Romani ethnic group are particularly vulnerable to sex and gender discrimination and highlighted areas which the Serbian government must immediately target if it is going to improve the situation of Romani women.
