Key Human Rights Questions for Context/Situation Analysis

• What are the key human rights issues the programme is attempting to address?

• To what extent are these rights currently being either denied or supported by existing laws, policies, plans, budgetary allocations and cultural practices?

• How are different groups of women being affected? Are some groups facing special or additional obstacles to enjoying these rights?

• What capacities do exist to support the realization of these rights and what capacities still need to be developed?

• What are other organizations, including UN agencies, doing to support these rights, and how will the programme link to their work?

• How will discriminatory cultural norms and practices affect the programme’s work?

• What is the baseline against which you will measure progress? What benchmark, data are available, e.g., government and NGO reports to the CEDAW Committee and the Committee’s Concluding Comments?
