United Nations Women's Rights Convention

The United Nations Women's Rights Convention refers to international agreements, particularly the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), that commit countries to ensuring gender equality and eliminating discrimination against women. These treaties set standards for fair treatment in areas like education, employment, healthcare, and political participation. Countries that ratify the convention agree to take legal and practical steps to improve women’s rights, promote equality, and address issues like violence and discrimination. It aims to create a fairer, more inclusive world where women have equal opportunities and protections under the law.
