Noelene Nabulivou of Development Alternatives for Women New Era (DAWN) and Diverse Voices for Action and Equality in Fiji, expresses disappointment and outrage at how governments are backtracking and trying to remove women's rights from the document at CSW58 and ultimately moving away from human rights and equality for all. Some governments are deliberately trying to exclude sexual and reproductive health rights and the LGBTIQ community from the MDGs and the post 2015 agenda by narrowing language and refusing to view development, human rights and women's rights as fundamentally interlinked. Nabulivou, stresses that the Convention to End all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) applies to all women and all kinds of discrimination.
