The Gender and Equal Opportunities Law (a CEDAW domestication law) has been passed by two states - Anambra and Imo. The law sets standards for the implementation of CEDAW in the states.

The law provides for affirmative action measures (temporary positive measures) to redress the historic imbalances in appointive and elective positions in Nigeria. It also prohibits discrimination in education, employment etc.

The "Digital Communities" category will honor important achievements by digital communities well as innovative artistic approaches towards web-based communities. 

The International Forum on Women's Rights and Development is both a conference and a call to action.
