The Treaty for the Rights of Women (officially known as the United 
Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination 
Against Women or CEDAW) provides an international standard by which 
countries can be held accountable for protecting the human rights of 
women. 

Created in 1979, the Treaty is an important tool for all those 
who seek to end abuses of women and girls throughout the globe. The 
Treaty for the Rights of Women seeks to end violence against women, 
ensure access to education and health care, provide equal protection 
before the law and prevent other abuses of human rights. 

***Currently,the United States is the only western country not to have 
ratified the Treaty.
