CEDAW/C/GC/36 X. State responsibility: implementation and monitoring 82. Information in the preceding sections of the present general recommendation indicates that, although there have been some gains towards the realization of the right of girls and women to education, their rights in all three domains — to, within and through — remain not fully realized. The recommendations contained herein identify benchmarks for the adoption and reform of policy and legislative frameworks and the financial and human resources required to provide for and protect the rights of girls and women in those three domains. If education is ultimately to be the vehicle for the personal, social, economic and political empowerment of women and the tool for equipping them to seize opportunities to make a direct contribution to national and regional development processes, then attention to those actions is not optional but obligatory. Transformation of systems and structures can only be realized, however, where there is political will. States parties need to commit to fulfil their internationally binding obligations under agreements such as the Convention, as supported by the general recommendations of the Committee, in particular general recommendation No. 28 (2010) on the core obligations of States parties under article 2 of the Convention. 83. The Committee urges States parties to take the following actions to ensure the timely implementation and monitoring of the recommendations contained in the present general recommendation to protect the right of girls and women of access to education and their rights within and through education, which elaborate upon article 10 of the Convention and are linked to other articles of the Convention and other general recommendations of the Committee: (a) Ensure the wide dissemination of the general recommendation to all stakeholders, including all government officials engaged in the education sector and supporting sectors, educators at all levels of the education system, students, parents, the media and the relevant national and community organizations; (b) As necessary, translate the document into the national languages and into those used by the ethnic minority groups in States parties; (c) Establish a national multisectoral task force with representation from the major government sectors involved in the delivery of education and educational services and the major non-governmental stakeholders engaged in education to develop a comprehensive implementation and monitoring strategy with clear timelines, benchmarks for measuring the achievement of outcomes and individuals assigned to provide oversight to specific dimensions of the strategy; (d) Ensure that adequate quantitative and qualitative datasets are available and accessible to inform monitoring of outcomes and maximize outcomes by harmonizing implementation of the present general recommendation with requirements under other international, regional and national instruments that address the rights of girls and women to, within and through education, which are consistent with the present instrument. 17-19774 23/23
