The Convention gives positive affirmation to the principle of equality by requiring States parties to take " all appropriate measures , including legislation , to ensure the full development and advancement of women , for the purpose of guaranteeing them the exercise and enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms on a basis of equality with men " ( article 3 ) . The challenge faced by Australia is to ensure the full development and the full realisation of the potential and inherent worth of each individual who lives in a rural or remote area of our country . The intent of this policy is to ensure the full realization of equal opportunity through a continuing affirmative action program in each administrative unit outlined in the Plan . We will address the policies , practices , ideas and beliefs that perpetuate gender inequality and prevent women and girls ( and sometimes men and boys ) from enjoying a decent livelihood , participation in public life , protection and basic services We will seek to ensure the full participation and empowerment of women in all areas of our work , and will promote women ’ s rights as human rights , particularly in the areas of abuse and violence We will work with both men and women , together and separately , to have a more lasting impact on beliefs and behaviour . States Parties shall take in all fields , in particular in the political , social , economic and cultural fields , all appropriate measures , including legislation , to ensure the full development and advancement of women , for the purpose of guaranteeing them the exercise and enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms on a basis of equality with men .
