2. According to the information supplied by the Government, the Women's Bureau is collaborating in the preparation of Bills which have transformed the legal situation of women and of the family, in the campaign to eliminate the legal discrimination and inequality of women. In this regard specific reference is made to the Act governing the relations between mothers, fathers and children, the Act respecting nutrition, the Act respecting adoption and the constitutional provisions respecting the situation of women and the family. The Women's Bureau is also participating actively in efforts to combat the maltreatment of women, through activities to defend women, constant public denunciations, investigations and the formulation of proposals for action.
