Anchalee Phonklieng and Susan Bazilli

IWRP carried out a research mission for UN Women in South East Asia in April and May 2012 on the use of CEDAW. In addition to the incredibly courageous advocacy that women are undertaking on the use of CEDAW and other human rights mechanisms in the ASEAN region, there was extremely effective organization by Asian Pacific women at Rio +20 such as Anchalee Phonklieng from the Indigenous Women’s Network of Thailand.
