Buenos Aires: REDLAC/ILANUD, 2003. 341 p.

The massive Training Manual on Young Women's Human Rights and the CEDAW was produced by the Red Latinoamericana y Caribena de Jovenes por los Derechos Sexuales y Reproductivos (REDLAC, Latin American and Caribbean Network of Young People for Sexual and Reproductive Rights) and ILANUD's Women, Justice and Gender Program. The manual's three objectives are: to provide tools for training young women activists in Latin America and the Caribbean in the form of basic information on gender, youth and women's human rights; to promote reflection on young women's human rights through the analysis of the social construction of youth and gender and to examine how they affect discrimination and the exercise of rights; and to understand and acknowledge the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) as an important instrument for the defense and promotion of young women's human rights.
