The United Nations (UN) Convention on the Elimination of All Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is the most comprehensive agreement on women's rights. We condemn all forms of discrimination against women and reaffirm the importance of ensuring equal political, economic, social, cultural and civil rights for women and men.
CEDAW stipulates that women should have equal political, economic, social, cultural and civil rights regardless of marital status and calls on states to enact national laws prohibiting discrimination.

States parties agree that contracts and other private documents that limit the legal capacity of women are “deemed void” .The Convention also addresses the need for equal access to education.

However, many women and girls around the world still face discrimination based on sex and gender. Gender inequality underpins many problems that disproportionately affect women and girls, including domestic and sexual violence, low wages, lack of access to education and inadequate health care. Women should be free from fear of gender-based violence, including rape and other forms of sexual violence, female genital mutilation (FGM), forced marriage, forced pregnancy, forced abortion and forced sterilization. But there is still a long way to go before all women can enjoy these rights. For example, many women and girls around the world still do not have access to safe and legal abortions. In some countries, people who want or need to terminate a pregnancy are often forced to make impossible choices.

What hit rock bottom was aggressive attacks and passive enforcement of the rights of girls and women around the world. In fact, girls and women still have only three-quarters of her legal rights as boys and men. And while the COVID-19 pandemic has put the gender dimension of inequality in the spotlight, the once bright lights have faded, leaving us with lasting causes and consequences of gender inequality.
