The Government of Liberia has adopted a coordinated approach to reporting under the human rights treaties which envisages the development of the CEDAW report in parallel with the other treaty reports and seeks to highlight the linkages between the treaties including the common provisions aiming at the elimination of discrimination against women in their enjoyment of all human rights. In this regard, UN Women strengthened the Government's existing reporting mechanism as per the treaty signed and is supporting the Government to develop the ninth and tenth CEDAW State Party reports for submission to the CEDAW committee. Furthermore, the capacities of the Human Rights divisions at the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, the Ministry of Justice, and focal points in different Line Ministries were enhanced, particularly in report writing and monitoring of Human Rights conventions with a focus on CEDAW.
