PORTFOLIO ANSWERS
, Question 1
1.1 Enforcement of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and its Optional Protocol
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
(CEDAW) is an international treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in
1979. It is often referred to as an international bill of rights for women as it defines what
constitutes discrimination against women and sets up an agenda for national action to
end such discrimination. The enforcement of CEDAW is crucial in promoting gender
equality and ensuring that women enjoy the same rights and opportunities as men.
Enforcement Mechanisms
The enforcement of CEDAW is primarily overseen by the Committee on the Elimination
of Discrimination against Women, commonly known as the CEDAW Committee. This
committee is composed of 23 experts on women’s rights from around the world who
monitor the implementation of CEDAW by states parties. States parties are required to
submit regular reports to the committee on measures they have taken to comply with their
obligations under the convention.
