UN CEDAW COMMITTEE

The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is the body of independent experts<https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/CEDAW/Pages/Membership.aspx> that monitors implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women<https://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/CEDAW.aspx>.
CEDAW Committee consists of 23 experts<https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/CEDAW/Pages/Membership.aspx> on women's rights from around the world.
General Recommendations
The Committee also makes recommendations on any issue affecting women to which it believes the States parties should devote more attention.
For example, at the 1989 session, the Committee discussed the high incidence of violence against women, requesting information on this problem from all countries.
In 1992, the Committee adopted general recommendation 19 on violence against women, asking States parties to include in their periodic reports to the Committee statistical data on the incidence of violence against women, information on the provision of services for victims, and legislative and other measures taken to protect women against violence in their everyday lives, including against harassment at the workplace, abuse in the family and sexual violence.

As of January 2014, the Committee has adopted 30 general recommendations:
