A webinar by Sue England.
The UN and the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women 1981 (CEDAW):
How the Convention helps women around the world and what are the current threats to it.
PLUS some UN jargon busting, especially useful for those who want to go to the UN Commission on the Status of Women NGO Conference in March.
CEDAW is the most important Human Rights Treaty for women. Created in the late 1970’s, it is the foundation for women’s rights and the many other UN texts and initiatives which have followed in the last 40 years. We must protect it.
Sue England is an international law specialist, who has lived and worked in several countries round the world. As a law Professor in the UK, she taught university courses in human rights law, as well as European Union law. She is passionate about women’s rights.
