Dear friends,
The Center for Women's Studies in Education (CWSE) of the University of Toronto is once again hosting the Women's Human Rights in an Era of Globalization Institute, from May 4th to June 5th 2009. We are pleased to announce that one of the programmes lined up for 2009 is an intensive one-week programme on CEDAW, facilitated by Ms Alda Facio and in cooperation with IWRAW Asia Pacific. We are very excited by our involvement with the programme, and we hope to see many of you there. Women activists, academics and NGO professionals worldwide have been coming to the Institute for the past five years with their experiences, knowledge and ideas making it a very exciting and feminist experience. This year's Institute, directed by Alda Facio, is led by a multigenerational team of scholars and practitioners. They include Angela Miles, a feminist activist professor at OISE who is also the Head of CWSE, and Angela Lytle who brings an expertise in educational program design and grassroots transnational activism. The Institute provides participants an opportunity to reflect on their work, learn theories and international women's human rights tools, and gain inspirations from other participants. It will be also a rejuvenating opportunity provided with full access to the rich resources that the University of Toronto and the world's most diverse city, Toronto, can offer. You may consider this Institute as an opportunity to expand the capacity of the participants and their organizations. While the Institute focuses on reaching out to the global economic south, past participants from Canada, the U.S. and Europe have also found it beneficial. It is currently accepting applications. More details such as the faculty, program contents, testimonies from past participants and fees, can be found at: http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/cwse/ Please find below a description of the intensive one-week course.

The week is designed to provide participants with a better understanding of the principles of non discrimination and equality as enshrined in this Convention and each State's obligation to respect, protect and fulfill women's human rights. Participants will be helped to frame whatever issues they are working on within a human right's framework from a gender perspective.
