30 YEARS OF A GLOBAL BILL
OF RIGHTS FOR WOMEN
Since the Convention of Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was adapted by the UN General Assembly in December 1979, it has been ratified by 185 countries.
What has CEDAW done for women’s rights? And how can we use CEDAW
to achieve greater justice for women?
To mark CEDAW’s 30th birthday, we want to celebrate. We want to gather and share stories, testimonies and reflections
about CEDAW to inspire women the world over.
Tell us your stories of change that show how CEDAW has been used
to address injustice and to open up pathways of women’s empowerment. And tell
others about us, so they can contribute too.
If you have a story or thoughts about CEDAW that you’d like to share or if you would like to get involved in this initiative, email us at info@stories-of-cedaw.net
Stories of CEDAW has been initiated by the Pathways of Women’s Empowerment Research Programme Consortium and One World Action. We invite other organizations to join us in making the most of this opportunity to celebrate CEDAW at 30.
