Explore the current landscape of women’s rights in international law.
The 1979 United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) enshrined women’s rights in law. Since then, numerous international conventions, laws and agreements have been put in place to protect the human rights of women, including their rights in public and political life, health, migration, rights in conflict and crises, access to justice, and the prevention of violence against women and girls.
