United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW)

The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is a group of international experts dedicated to monitoring and promoting women's rights worldwide. Established by the UN, it reviews how countries implement the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, which is a global treaty ensuring women’s equality. Countries report their progress, and CEDAW provides recommendations to address issues like violence, discrimination, and unequal opportunities. Its goal is to advance gender equality and empower women everywhere through oversight, guidance, and advocacy.
