Monrovia — A conglomerate of human rights civil society organizations in Liberia under the banner Civil Society Organizations Human Rights Advocacy Platform (CSO-Platform) of Liberia in a report has indicated that the Government of Liberia needs to do more to implement the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
With support from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the validation of the NGO shadow report on Liberia was held on the 27 May 2021 in Ganta, Nimba County, with actors from the Civil Society organizations under the CSO-Platform of Liberia, government representatives from the Ministries of Justice; Foreign affairs; Gender, Children and Social Protection and others who all gathered to discuss the shadow report. The activity is part of Spotlight Initiative project funded by European Union, which enabled OHCHR to hire national consultant to assist CSO-Platform in developing the shadow report.
