South Georgia and South Sandwich - whose initial reports were also before the Committee. 3. In accordance with article 18 of the Convention and the Committee's guidelines, the initial report described the framework within which the Convention was being implemented and gave specific information on how its provisions had been put into practice. The report attempted to provide a comprehensive survey of the position of women in the United Kingdom, both in law and in practice. That underlined the importance which her country attached to the rights set forth in the Convention, to which it continued to subscribe fully. Her Government, in formulating policy in the fields covered by the Committee, was very conscious of its international treaty obligations and of the rights embodied in the Convention. 4. There had been many developments in the United Kingdom since the initial report has been submitted and she would bring the Committee up to date on some of the main areas of progress. 5. Every Government department was concerned with policies affecting women. The main forum for co-ordinating their work and developing inter-departmental initiatives was the Ministerial Group on Women's Issues, chaired by the minister of the Home Office with special responsibility for equal opportunities. Its membership comprised ministers with policy responsibilities for issues of special concern to women, such as health, employment and education. 6. The Group had reviewed Government policy in areas covered by the Forward-looking Strategies for the Advancement of Women and had published the results in April 1987; it had also supervised the preparation of her country's initial report. The Group gave ministers the opportunity to examine and discuss women's issues and to co-ordinate the Government's response in such priority areas as child care, public appointments and domestic violence, in a way that would not otherwise be possible.
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in the United Kingdom. It mentions government policies, departments, and initiatives related to women's issues, such as equal opportunities, child care, public appointments, and domestic violence. This suggests that the category related to employment and human rights is the most fitting.
