This joint submission to the CEDAW Committee for their general discussion on equal and inclusive representation of women in decision-making was prepared by the Forging Intersectional Feminist Futures (FIFF) consortium. The joint submission aims to highlight the multidimensional barriers that marginalised groups of women face in their access to equal and inclusive representation in decision-making systems, and provide substantive recommendations in response to these barriers.
The FIFF consortium is made up of seven human rights organisations: ASEAN SOGIE Caucus (ASC), Asia Indigenous People’s Pact (AIPP), Asia Pacific Network of Sex Workers (APNSW), Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN), Asia Pacific Transgender Network (APTN), International Women’s Rights Action Watch Asia Pacific (IWRAW AP), Special Talent Exchange Program (STEP), and Womxn’s Voice from the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC).
