Participants in a roundtable on equality between men and women in Tajikistan have stressed the need for accessible and fast mechanisms for enforcing legal provisions.

The roundtable, organized on 5 August by the OSCE Mission to Tajikistan, in co-operation with the UN Office of Peace-Building to Tajikistan (UNTOP), focused on the compliance of Tajik legislation with the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
