Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women

 

This Protocol is a guide that tells you what you need to do if you wanted to file a complaint about a country that has treated a woman unfairly. If you are making a complaint in place of someone else, you will need to get permission from that person in writing, to have proof. This will need to be sent to the Human Rights Committee.
