Cedaw
CEDAW, or the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, is an international treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1979. It is often referred to as the international bill of rights for women. CEDAW aims to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women and to promote gender equality in all areas of life including education, employment, healthcare, politics, and law.
CEDAW also recognizes that gender-based violence is a form of discrimination against women and can be a violation of their human rights. The treaty obligates signatory countries to take measures to eliminate gender-based violence, including creating laws, policies, protocols, and other measures to protect, prevent, investigate, punish and provide redress for victims of gender-based violence.
The Convention provides a comprehensive framework for action and has been ratified by 189 countries, making it one of the most widely ratified human rights treaties globally. Countries that have ratified CEDAW are required to regularly report to the United Nations on the measures they have taken to eliminate discrimination against women in their respective countries.
