Take leadership to join 187 nations and ratify CEDAW, the critically important women's rights treaty.

Further delay by the US to join 187 nations and ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is shameful. CEDAW is the most comprehensive international agreement on basic human rights for women and equality. If the US is a beacon of democracy to the world, why does it share the infamous company of Sudan, Somalia, Iran & Tonga in failing to recognize women's human rights? We stand nearly alone among the countries of the world failing to formally recognize the equality of women. US citizens support the principles and values of equality, fairness, education & basic human rights. Ratification continues our proud bipartisan tradition of promoting & protecting human rights. No additional costs or new appropriations are required. Ratify CEDAW NOW!
