Elimination of all forms of discrimination against women United Nations, ratified by 100 Nations.
CONVENTION ON THE ELIMINATION OF ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN research by Donna Young
On 18 December 1979, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination against Women was adopted by the
United Nations General
Assembly. It entered into force as an international treaty on 3 September 1981
after the twentieth country had ratified it. By the
tenth anniversary of the Convention in 1989, almost one hundred nations have agreed
to be bound by its provisions.
(Comments: Canada, the United States, Britain, Australia ratified this Declaration for all their tax-supported institutions to honor no form of discrimination to women.
- They have also ratified the best practice possible in the care and treatment of children.
- Most democratic Nations have statement in their Constitutions that equal protection is for all and security of persons, regardless of age, sex, color, race, mental and/or physical disadvantage, and or marital status.
- Let us help, Canada's all level of governments, locally and provincially, to uphold Canada's commitments.
The Convention was the culmination of more than thirty years of work by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, a body established in 1946 to monitor the situation of women and to promote women's rights.
The Commission's work has been instrumental in bringing to light all the areas
in which women are denied equality with men.
These efforts for the advancement of women have resulted in several declarations and conventions, of
which the Convention on
the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women is the central and most comprehensive document.
Among the international human rights treaties, the Convention takes an
important place in bringing the female half of humanity
into the focus of human rights concerns. The spirit of the Convention is rooted in the goals of the
United Nations: to reaffirm faith
in fundamental human rights, in the dignity,v and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of
men and women.
The present document spells out the meaning of equality and how it can be achieved. In so doing, the
Convention establishes not
only an international bill of rights for women, but also an agenda for action by countries to guarantee
the enjoyment of those rights.
In its preamble, the Convention explicitly acknowledges that "extensive
discrimination against women continues to exist", and
emphasizes that such discrimination "violates the principles of equality of rights and respect
for human dignity".
As defined in article 1, discrimination is understood as "any distinction,
exclusion or restriction made o.1 the basis of sex...in
the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field".
The Convention gives positive affirmation to the principle of equality by requiring
States parties to take "all appropriate
measures, including legislation, to ensure the full development and advancement of women, for the purpose
of guaranteeing them
the exercise and enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms on a basis of equality with men"
(article 3).
The agenda for equality is specified in fourteen subsequent articles.
In its approach, the Convention covers three dimensions
of the situation of women.
Civil rights and the legal status of women are dealt with in great detail. In addition, and unlike other human rights treaties, the Convention is also concerned with the dimension of human reproduction as well as with the impact of cultural factors on gender relations.
