Specific strategies of ASEAN and its agencies to further promote and
protect human rights of women have been identified at a recent symposium
called “Women for Human Rights” in Indonesia.

Jointly held by
the ASEAN Secretariat and the UN Women’s Agency, the event was funded by
the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the UN Women Fund
and the Indonesian non-governmental organisation of Kalyanamitra.

Participants
discussed and got updated with international legal documents on gender
equality and women rights to gain full understanding of laws relating to
women.

At the event, regional and world experts exchanged

especially women and children rights.-VNA
