The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women is a human rights instrument written and adopted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in 1979 which simply proclaims the natural-given fact that Women s rights are human rights. The top concern for women is poverty alleviation.
Women have access to less health care than men.
They perform work that is more tedious and of lower status than men s work, and they receive less compensation. Then, imagine the sun rising up over this world one morning to find all of the people whole. All of its people are able to participate and contribute and benefit from the Economic, Cultural, Civil, Social, and Political life of this world. We would say it was a miracle. It is not a miracle.
