countries party to CEDAW

CEDAW, or the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, is an international treaty adopted by the United Nations in 1979. Countries that are parties to CEDAW commit to ensuring equal rights for women and girls in various areas, including education, employment, health care, and political participation. By ratifying the treaty, these nations agree to take active steps to remove legal barriers to gender equality and promote women's rights within their jurisdictions. As of now, nearly all UN member states are parties to CEDAW, reflecting a global consensus on the importance of gender equality.
