The coalition first came together in 2002 to prepare a submission on the province of British Columbia to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, on the occasion of the Committee’s review of Canada’s fifth report under the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.

The B.C. CEDAW Group re-formed in 2008 to prepare this submission for the review of Canada’s Sixth and Seventh reports under the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
