On The Issues | Twisted Treaty Shafts U.S. Women
On The Issues publishes an article by Janet Benshoof, founder and President of the GJC, titled “Twisted Treaty Shafts U.S. Women”.
This article shows how the U.S. is lagging behind several countries with women’s equality. The CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) international treaty, already ratified by 185 countries, has yet to be ratified by the U.S. Furthermore, even if ratified eleven reservations have been placed on it, rendering it useless to the equality movement – and possibly even harmful.
