‘Human rights’ refers to the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled,
including right to quality of life, freedom of thought and expression, and equality in law. While
all of WODNET’s work is grounded in human rights, WODNET’s projects, programmes and actions relate
directly to United Nations Conventions and Declarations. This includes the Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women (CEDAW).
