In April 2015 WWDA made a submission to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) to inform the development of a General Comment on the rights of adolescents. The CRC Committee is a body of 18 independent experts that monitor the implementation of the CRC by States parties. General Comments are developed by such committees to clarify and expound articles contained in UN conventions and treaties. WWDA’s submission will contribute to informing a General Comment on the Rights of Adolescents under the CRC, from the perspective of women and girls with disabilities.
