The CEDAW Assessment Tool Report for the Russian Federation examines women's rights within the country as well as Russia's compliance with the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). This study was conducted over 2004-2005 using the CEDAW Assessment tools as defined by the American Bar Association Central European Eurasian Law Initiative (ABA/CEELI). The assessment tool measures the status of women as reflected by the country's laws and to what extent women enjoy the rights and protections provided under CEDAW. The assessment is done in two parts called "de jure assessment" and "de facto analysis".To view the full report, please visit: CEDAW Assessment Tool Report for the Russian Federation.
