Inclusive Governance: Promoting Participation of Disadvantaged Groups: Access to justice: the case of women in Iran (+)

These case studies examine the application of the principles of non-discrimination, participation, accountability and empowerment in governance arenas, and promote the use of a human rights-based approach to programming on inclusive governance. Presenting lessons learnt in eight Asia-Pacific countries through ten case studies, a strong case is made for greater inclusion in governance as part of the agenda to deepen and consolidate democracy, ensure effective representation, and develop capacities to better respect, protect, and fulfil human rights.
