The conference, dedicated to women's rights in the post-soviet countries, aimed at providing more information about the United Nations Convention on offences against women's rights. On the first day, women were informed about CEDAW's functions and duties. On the second day the participants worked to arrange the legal campaign in order to achieve state accord with the CEDAW demands such as ratifying the law about trafficking or about family violence. The participants received training on three important issues: planning the legal campaign, creating the coalition and lobbying.
