Equality Now has just issued Women's Action 16.11, Update August 2010 - Words and Deeds: Holding Governments Accountable in the Beijing +15 Review Process which calls on governments to support the creation by the Human Rights Council of a special mechanism on women's equality before the law, including through active engagement on the half-day discussion at the September 2010 session of the Human Rights Council. The Action also calls on governments to ensure that the laws mentioned in our Beijing +15 report, and any other discriminatory laws in force, are repealed or amended as a matter of urgency.

Your earlier support has led to some governments repealing or amending their discriminatory laws. We hope that you will continue to support this and our other Women's Action campaigns.
